We need to know what the symptoms are. Do you have a high spore count? Are the bees 
suffering from nosema caused symtoms? If not, it is ill advised to treat with an expensive 
antibiotic. 

Thymol in syrup is not approved and I would caution you against feeding non-approved 
chemicals to your bees. I know beekeepers all over the world do it, but if you get caught 
they won't help you.
