Greetings Everyone,

I haven't used Sucrose Octanoate but I have used powdered sugar.

One possible advantage to a product like Sucrose Octanoate is the
probable greater exposure time for the mites to this treatment. With
powdered sugar the effects of the treatment last less than 24 hours as
the bees consume and clean up the sugar in that time.

Regards
Dennis
