So by accident I'd found people claiming that thyme oil can be used to treat varroa instead of using oxalic acid.
I was skeptical at first, because I know a lot of people in real life apart from bees that just say anything and talk big, to make themselves look good. And they will be spouting off nonsense non-stop especially to relatives.
Seeing this kind of behavior a lot makes me want to ask how real thyme oil treating is? Can people here verify it works?
I am hopeful it does. I don't mind oxalic acid treatments. But the idea that its something that I can't make myself or grow myself sometimes worries me. I don't like to be in the power of others when its things I can do myself.
So I'm curious what you all might say about the thyme oil treatment methods? Is it used the same times of year as oxalic acid? Or could it be used more? (Or how different?)
Although, one issue also might be that essential oils might not be uniform in how people make them (?) I don't know if they all have the same solution standard of the percent of product in them (?).
And at first I didn't want to consider this, but people do use basil to curb insect problems. And so I thought basil and thyme might not be so different. So why not ask. (It makes me wonder if basil can be used for bees also.)
