> Does anyone know if sucrocide kills TM as well as Varroa?
Tracheal mites are internal (inside the bees' trachea) hence will NOT be
killed by sucracide.  Sucracide must cover the mite to kill it.  It will
kill any tracheal mites that are questing during treatment, but the majority
of the TM population will not be harmed.

Aaron Morris - thinking there's more than one way to skin a mite!
