Has anyone had issues (over and above the normal regicide which seems to have been one of the quirks of this season) with introducing a queen whilst the colony is being treated with Thymol (slow release from oasis)?
Just one of those thoughts that ran through my head as I popped a caged queen into a very queenless colony this morning - wondered if thymol fumes made success less likely.
....I guess it is a difficult thing to prove, and so an utterly pointless question!
Still, opinions would be interesting.
