In what way do you think that it is tougher?  We have used only thymol 
crystals since 1997 when varroa arrived and have not had any issues other 
than queens sometimes going off-lay for a few days.

As far as I am aware, thymol does not actually damage the adult bees, 
whereas I believe that oxalic does.

Best wishes
