Varroa Mite Control. Varroa mites and tracheal mites are responsible for the devastating decline in bee populations nation-wide. Preliminary research results from West Virginia University suggest varroa mites and possibly tracheal mites can be controlled effectively and economically with syrups containing wintergreen and spearmint oils. Read about how the research was conducted, how the syrups were made and what results occurred. * Please note that these are experimental results and are not registered in Washington State.
