US Magazin Science published in 1989 a report prepared by a french
scientist group working in Labs for neurobiology in Bures-sur-Yvette. As
explained in the report they use Ethylpalmitat and Methyllinolenat as
active substances to allure varoa into a trap and subsequently eliminate
them from the hive.
The cheap and undengerous (for bees and human) substance, its
uncomplicated application looked very attractive and promissing.
Since then I never heared any further news on development of this
approach to get ride of varoa.Does somebody of the BEELIST community has
perhaps more up-to-dayt or fresh info?
