Hello All, I have been surfing the net for a couple hours trying to find testing done on tracheal mite infestations treated with Apilife Var or plain thymol crystals and have came up empty handed. I have found in Italy they say Apilife var is effective against tracheal mites but in the U.S. they say Apilife var provides little control of tracheal mites. Has a member of BEE-L used Apilife var on a tracheal mite infestation this fall and checked the results? Peter you use thymol I believe you said. Is thymol effective as a control for tracheal mites? Comments?
