And all what you heard, and yout put your bees to sufferHeard about a treatment being tried in Yorkshire for varoa. Ive heard of icing sugar but never use of garlic?
But it is nonsence.I've read that garlic in sugar syrup can be used for Chalk brood treatment.
That will upset a few on the Biobees forumPowder sugar is humbug too. Chindrens' game.
Finman are you saying that Oxalic acid is the only varroa treatment you use ?Diseases are serious issue. After 47 beekeeping years, I do nothing my own against varroa. It has surprised me couple of times and it is expencive.
I would agree here. We dusted and got a few - enough to prove that we had to worry about varroa. Now that we are using apigard, we have loads of dead mites on the OMF boards.It dropped a few mites. He then treated with thymol, and the large number of mites that fell showed the garlic/sugar treatment numbers to be insignificant.
I just wrote that they are 20, at least,Finman are you saying that Oxalic acid is the only varroa treatment you use ?
