Is there an effective treatment for the veroa (Sp?) mite yet?


There was, but resistant mites have appeared in the south-west. Thymol
seems to be the only answer at the moment, though good husbandry helps.

Isn't that always the way? Still, medicine has been given a shot in the
arm with the recent discovery of RNA interference, and that might well
hit the pests before it is licensed for human use.
