[refers to Nick Calderon’s work with natural plant extracts, primarily thymol and eucalyptus oil--soaked the plant extracts into green foam brick (florists)--put into the hive for several weeks in late fall, after bees made honey; the mixture killed 98% of VM and was as effective as fluvalinate. Also used peanut, sunflower, rapeseed and soybean oils in sugar patties placed in 71 colonies in PA [when?]--after 3 mos., TM was 1.5-2.5 % compared to 10% in controls. Calderone hopes to find a mixture of compounds that will kill both mites.]
