The main problem was the application method of the grease patties because of the amount of hives that have to be tended to. But for smaller bee farms, this is definitely worth a try. Several beekeepers have been using a product called Apiguard that is basically just thymol crystals. For some reason the manufacturer is no longer marketing this brand and we have successfully tested a version of our own, so far so good!Be well, Rachel Markel www.eoilco.com http://ingredientmanager.eoilcolab.com www.GreenTerpene.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
