[QUOTE="tristan, post: 11824, member: 30"] sorry i didn't realize you now have 1000+ hives. i'm not looking for silver bullet, i'm looking for something that works well enough. if its got issues in trails then its only going to be worse out in the field in large scale. hence fix it in the trail stage. we can't have outliers and cause reinfestation as that simply gives the mites a head start and we would be needing to constantly treat, which is not good for the bees or us. i think randy oliver is on the right track with making it last longer. with lower efficient treatments you really need to treat longer, or treat more often, than synthetics and treat enough brood cycles. the thymol trail i have posted about many times over the years. main issues where highly variable results, not suitable for spring, contamination of the boxes/frames.
