Subject: Re: [BEE-L] Sucrose Octanoate
You are quite right Allen. But this is for us, living in Canada another
useful tool that would improve the situation during summer time. I don't
think personally that this could be useful anyway for a commercial
beekeeper as it involves a lot of manipulation and time. This is also a
very invasive method for the bees. I would use it in an urgent situation
when in June or July the number of varroas is too high and would be
disastrous in September.
There are other 'interim' methods like the 'flash' usage of formic acid as
recently developed by J.P. Chapleau ( http://reineschapleau.wd1.net/ )
(french only). This is fast and efficient as an 'interim' control method
for summer time. It can be useful for any size of apiary.
