[QUOTE="tristan, post: 11807, member: 30"] you missed the point. i can't have bees chewing out treatments, even just 1%. remember the amount of treating you probably do in 50 years of beekeeping is just one treatment for me and i need it to work perfectly every time, 1000's per year. i can't have the odd hive where it doesn't work. outliers are not acceptable. to many commercial guys have lost a lot of hives trying it and unfortunately very few are saying why. something like one hive chewing out strips early is a complete fail. you might get away with it being hobby or even semi, but not in large scale. especially when its just a matter of finding a new substrate. we did 2 year trail on thymol many years ago and found issues. thats why i say its not as simple as just use other methods.
