I am new to this list as I have just started keeping bee's (two new hives).     
If this is a rehashing of old topics I apologize.                               
                                                                                
I understand that a patty can be made to keep down tracial mites using          
wintergreen.  My question is would one made with pepermint work just as well    
or better or not at all?  If it does work does anyone have a recipe for         
this?
