Who told that mites are resistant to natural acids? It’s like a steelworker
for 40 years; do you think he is resistant to liquid steel?
I treated my bees a few years ago with Thymol and it works great. The good
thing: it was hard to find a mite in my colonies, the bad thing I couldn’t
sell my honey. The taste was like licorice and the smell like toilet stones.
Now I’m testing Oxamite and I think that’s not bad. After 14 days in a
colony bees shredding the strips and I have lots of mites on the sticky
board. Bad thing; it doesn’t reached mites in the closed cells, the good
thing; it’s a long-term treatment over 5 weeks and longer.
