Very diluted. About one part Clorox to 4 parts water.

An article in the American Bee journal said in there trials the solution was 
as effective at removing spores as acetic acid.

With acetic acid one has to place the boxes in a stack and place a MT or 
spacer on top and the job is done when the acid is gone. Much slower 
process.

Off to move bees in high wind conditions. 25-30 MPH sustained winds. Quite a 
storm today in the Midwest. Record setting in the Dakotas with Blizzard 
warnings. Look at other posts later.
