Greetings Andrzej
I am interested in your advice about chalkbrood. My area has  been infected
with chalkbrood for about 3 years now.
What is thymol?
How do you give it to the hive?
Does vinegar 10% mean 90% water with 10% vinegar?
How often would you have to repeat these treatments.
Andrzej, if you applied this treatment to a badly infected hive, how much
reduction chalkbrood infection would you normally expect to see.
I am interested in hearing if anyone else has methods for controlling
chalkbrood.
Thanks in advance, Frank.
