Sorry just did a search on Cop-R-Tox and it is a Copper Naphthenate Solution. Looks like John G already commented on this.

What about Cop-r-Tox sold by many bee supply places (I bought my last can from Rossman's). I really have a hard time putting this stuff on my hives and I have always wondered if it is worth the...
