In David Kline's latest book (Letters from Larksong), he experimented with sawdust from walnut trees.  He had a great deal of success....almost too much as the bees over populated the hive.

FYI, here's an article about a genetic weapon being developed to fight Varroa mites on honeybees:

The headline and first paragraph claim they've "developed" this weapon, but that's an exaggeration. Later, you read that it's at an "early, experimental stage," and that it will take years of further development before there's a product available.

Still, I thought it was interesting, and somewhat on-topic here.  :-)
