Using wood bleach was certainly not a panacea, it will be another tool we use along with tossing in powdered sugar. We can cycle through the various treatments but it is a losing war. This may allow commercial beekeepers to start using lithium chloride or oxalic acid. We will see if it gets abused.

The article talked about Lithium Chloride. Where do would bleach and oxalic acid come in?
