Hello, what effect does this product you use have on varroa? I wish you could show the results as well. What are the ingredients of the oil?

Hi can I use organic mustard oil instead of mineral oil ?

Hello, your videos are a blessing. Thank you so much. I am a new beekeeper and so many videos speak of what to do but rarely go in depth. If I do a mineral fogging can I still use Apiguard? I live in MA. When would I do oxalic acid fogging? And do you do use it? Thank you so much.
I have two brood boxes one full and the other 55 %. I do not have a super on. Do you feed the sugar water 1:1 while fogging? And I have a pollen feeder near the hive and they did not use it all summer months until now. Do you use those? Thank you again.

Does this do anything to help prevent small hive beetles or wax moths?
