Do you make cider from anything else?
I meant cider vinegar

( don’t know where the first line came from so I deleted it. )
 
For me, one advantage of using thymol, particularly in winter feeding, is the additional benefit the bees get against nosema. ............
Yes but the point is if you only want to prevent mould and are feeding at other times, such as for a nucleus, then a dash of vinegar is easier/cheaper.

Your question, to which I was responding, was 'Why use thymol when half or one teaspoonful of vinegar in 2 litres will stop any mould forming?' I just gave you the reasons why someone might choose to use thymol especially going into winter as we are/soon will be.
