Less varroa more oxalic trickle treatments ?
People know treating is easy and cheap but buying in bees is difficult and dear
I suppose if varroa enter a cell with a C/B infected larva they have had it

I'm not sure if OA can stop C/B - yes it does !!
according to
A novel approach for the management of the chalkbrood disease infesting honeybee Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies in Egypt.
OA does help but thymol works better - apparently
Phil you have it cracked http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16628894
Had to google that right away
Top Man! (hope it works)
Now I'm off to google ceder oil wonder if that's cedar or something different
Race the lot of you buying it all up and bottling it
How does the thymol or cedar oil get applied
It says thymol at a rate of 2% or cedar oil at a rate of 4%
That can't be in feed surely so is it sprayed on or evaporated through the hive
The link is just an extract can anyone access the whole thing ?

Tan International. A chemical and sugar supply company that works all over the UK, but based near the port at Perth.
The supply I took in recently was supplied at 1.00 per litre for glacial acetic. They will supply other concentrations too. Downside is that the do not do less than a 25 litre container.
Reckon the 1.00 is largely a handling charge for a very cheap product. Interestingly the charge 1.00 per litre for the correct concentration of formic acid, 1.00 per Kg for caustic soda, and 1.00 per kg for washing soda. The cut that last one to 50p when I pointed out it was cheaper in Tesco.
Buy enough for the association and it costs very little per beekeeper.
Come on all you chaps with access to springer and the scientific papers
How was the cedar oil delivered was it in syrup ?
Hi C4u I bought glacial acetic of Ebay once thinking I would dilute it myself
It went solid in the glass bottle
I had to stand the bottle in warm water took ages to melt
Great prices and information
