>  The use of carbolic acid on bees, which continues to this day, has its
>roots at the dawn of modern disease treatment:


Charles Mraz, inventor of the fume board, used carbolic. Carbolic 
acid is still used on fume boards, to clear supers. I understand it 
works better than anything available and approved...as long as the 
sun is shining.
