is only slightly soluble in water, but it is readily soluble in surgical
spirit (rubbing alcohol), which is ethanol to which a small amount of
methanol has been added, to render it unfit to drink. It is normally used to
sterilize surfaces and to cleanse skin abrasions and to toughen skin. R.O.B Manley
propagated the idea of using Thymol in syrup intended for winter-feeding
in order to prevent fermentation and the growth of mould. After Thymol is dissolved remove the empty strips. Then add 15 ml (a half fluid ounce) to 50 kg (112 lbs) of sugar,
which you dissolve in 33 liter (8.75 US Gal.) of water for direct use as
winter-feed. A syringe is useful for measuring out the
Thymol solution for addition to the sugar syrup.

Thymomite
strips - the
easy Varroa treatment for beekeepers How many strips do I need? For a full treatment you need two strips per hive 3 weeks apart The advantage of Thymomite As soon as Thymol is evaporated bees shred the strip and
remove it. ________________________________________ Method of Application: Thymol has been applied to beehives using various methods, including powdered Thymol and liquid Thymol. Thymomite Cut
one strip Thymomite
in
half and place
it
on
top of the frames -right and left from the brood nest, replace
with a fresh one approx 3 weeks later if
necessary. Use a half strip as a treatment in a 4 frame
new colony. Applications can be made in any season (spring, summer, fall, winter) in which all applicable restrictions, precautions and directions for use can be followed. Do not use when surplus honey supers are in place. Thymomite should be used in early spring or autumn after brood rearing has finished, but when temperatures are above 15ºC / 59ºF. The volatility of Thymomite Do not use strips at temperatures above 33ºC / 90ºF. For best effect - daytime 15º-20ºC / 59º-68ºF, without falling below 12ºC / 54ºF for long periods.Operator Safety: Thymol is a skin irritant, although it is generally regarded as safe to use and apply. Rubber gloves should be worn when handling Thymomite. Residues: Only
taste threshold residues (see MRL). MRL’s: In the EU, Thymol is a group
II non-toxic veterinary drug that does not require a MRL. Nevertheless, Thymol
does leave taste residues in honey and wax, although the residues do not persist
for long periods of time. Thymomite
is not recommended for application during the honey flow. Resistance: There are no published reports of the resistance of Varroa to Thymol. Please be aware before you obtain or use the material you are assuming responsibility for ascertaining the legality of it's contents in your geographic location. The Thymol vapor kills the mites and doesn't
harm your bees. Outside temperatures should be at least 15º C / 59ºF.
Thymol
treatment showed promise as a control agent against Varroa and
tracheal mites (HBTM) in a 1998 study conducted at the University of Guelph.
Thymol should not be used during honey flow. Thymol
is a relatively safe substance to handle with gloves (datasheet),
but is very pungent and therefore best kept out of the house. The
Thymol crystals have recorded a very high effectiveness (86,7% a 99,9%, average
= 95,5%) while bees and brood showed a very good tolerability towards the
treatment. Thymol is not a winter treatment and need warm temperatures to be efficient. --------------------------------------------------
