How about Indian stores from India?
You can probably find them there if you do a search. Or ask someone if they know any.
Maybe the store will carry the oil.

Is a ten frame langstroth hive considered a 40 liter trap? Nick 1111, it sounds like you are using your hive as a bait trap. I read the ideal bait trap has a 40 liter capacity and is 10 feet up. The first swarms in the Spring can be pretty big, so I think your idea of using the hive as a bait trap is good.
