I have read reports of greatly reduced (50% less) brood levels in spring
following Apilife (thymol) treatments.  It also seems to be hard on the
bees- I seem to remember reports of bees moving away from the source,
sometimes bearding on the front of the hive in warmer weather.


I was considering using thymol this year, but am not so sure, given the
initial reports.

Any other data or observations?


Todd.
