> I recenty started treating my 2 hives with Menthol...I know I can't sell it with medication in the supers, but is it safe for my own consumption? Menthol is a food item. It is used for flavouring and and also in things like cough drops. There is a great deal of info on menthol and also methods of removing honey from combs without an extractor in the BEE-L logs at http://listserv.albany.edu/archives/bee-l.html allen
