Anyone have information related to
'mild aroma' home made bee repellents 
for clearing bees from supers?

I will not be using this for clearing
supers, so contamination of food
is not a concern here.

The recipe I am looking at 
calls for:

½ Benzaldehyde  
¼  propionic acid
¼  propionic anhydride

Can anyone expand on the 
above components?  I would 
prefer components which are
 'mild odor' 

I understand that Benzaldehyde
alone may be sufficient, so are 
the other components necessary?

Also, I have a source for the above,
but is anyone aware of any other
low cost suppliers?

Best Wishes,
Joe Waggle
