> Are you using one of Corr Dewitt machines?


I am not using one of Corr Dewitt's machines. They are very sophisticated 
and really more than I need for my 60 or so hives.

I made some 120 volt vaporisers similar to the Varrox unit several years ago 
and found them very effective except as the access required to the bottom 
boars are concerned.

I enclosed a couple of them in a sheet metal box with an air inlet at one 
end and a pipe to fit the augur holes in my hives last year. They work well 
but are very complicated to build.

I made a different set this year which are a bit easier to build but require 
a certain amount of machine shop work. They are effective but rather slow to 
work. So far none of my efforts would be practical for a commercial 
operation.

                                    Best regards
