Autumn feeding

[justme]

I was just going to feed 2:1 syrup with thymol added as per the Hivemaker recipe.... but just wondered, does anyone think there is any value adding either of these Vitafeed treatments too? I have some just sitting there and it seems a waste not to use them, but on the other hand, I guess they have not been tested for use wiht thymol.

Views???

Hi polyanwood. I used vitafeed grefn when i had some bees with virus. They pulled through within 1 brood cycle. Coincidence?? Due to use by date iv used it whenever iv had to feed since, very low varroa counts on those bees, much higher on the otherr. Now using hivemakers instead, cheaper. Will vegreen again if needed for virus, on its own. Vfgreen incudes thymol i believe so?
