Carvacrol was what was used in the studies that we talked about a year or
more ago which is what I used. If you look at the breakdown of most oregano
oils they are a combination of carvacrol and thymol. In any case, they did
not work for me. Totally anecdotal.

I should have added that my bees did exhibit nosema symptoms, including not
feeding. Add that, even though NC is not supposed to exhibit the same
symptoms as NA, it does here in Maine and has been documented by Tony
Jadczak.  You need a cold winter for it to happen. Poop all over the hive.
The not-same symptoms were from warmer climate studies.
