TREATMENT OF BEES WITH THE USE OF WINTERGREEN OIL. IS IT GOOD OR BAD PRACTICE ?


Treatment of bees with the use of wintergreen oil.
Is it  good or bad practice ?

In fact, wintergreen and cherry birch are the only plants in the world that contain natural methyl salicylate. But, the fact, that what in small doses treats, in large doses can kill ... One teaspoon of essential oil of wintergreen is equal in strength to 90 tablets of aspirin. Exactly ! Those who treat bees with wintergreen oil are simply fed them with aspirin.

Methyl salicylate which is contained in the oil of wintergreen, is not a simple substance. It is very dangerous for humans too! A total of 10 milliliters of wintergreen essential oil can be lethal for a child, and 30 milliliters can be lethal for an adult human! Wintergreen oil is extremely toxic! In any case you should avoid contact between wintergreen oil, and with an open wound and blood! It can harm you very much !!! The encyclopedic dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron points to a wintergreen, as a plant that causes "bloody urine" in animals!

Exactly  these  properties of wintergreen oil are used by those, who offer to treat bees for varroatosis with essential oil of wintergreen... But what kind of treatment is this! In fact, this is not a treatment, but an attempt to poison the mites, while not strongly poisoning the bees. It all depends on body weight. In fact, this is the same as poisoning bugs or cockroaches without removing tenants from the apartments. Of course, people will survive, but will it be harmless to them ?!  The same thing happens with bees. Each such treatment weakens organism of bees. For them, it is also a toxic substance ... just the dosage does not kill them immediately ... And later? How do they affected by sponges soaked with oil of wintergreen and  lying in a hive, or sugar syrup with wintergreen oil, or other " medicines", which include this oil ? Nodody known exactly...

It is possible that it affects just like any long-term chemotherapy on a person ... Weakens it, making it less resistant to other diseases and pests ...
