fungus that kills Varroa mites

[bobba]

Sorry… had to change the title of the thread. It was driving me nuts!

I would not have noticed if you did not point it out.

my point was just that it may be a slightly more feasible route to investigate than rubharb leaves, sea salt or lavender

Thyme and mint as well

Got to bear in mind WHEN thyme has nectar available and does thyme nectar introduce strange "flavour". From Google - There are many varieties of thyme, with leaves of various flavours, scents and colours. In early summer, these low-growing shrubs are covered in clusters of tiny pink, mauve or white flowers that are rich in nectar, providing a feast for bees and other pollinating insects.

Thank you will look at that, by the way I am only doing this in one of two of my apries as a control group to.test the hypothesis
