I have been using 3lbs. of icing sugar mixed with 6ozs of garlic
powder for mite control.I use my smoker to apply the mixture.
Only use it during late August.Began the treatment in 2001 and my
four colonies are in excellent condition.During the 1999
Apimondia Congress I learned about smokeless smoke for bee control.It
is produced as liquid bee smoke and dispensed in a spray bottle using
an ounce of concentrate to 16 ounces of water.I have  used it for the
past six years and will never go back to the hassel of keeping a
smoker going.My smoker is only used to dispense the mite control
powder! The liguid smoke is produced by Newton Apiaries, Fresno ,Ca.
93722      to order;   559 277-8456.
