Even though apiguard is for varroa, am I sensing that it is also good for trachial mites? Do I need another medication for trachial mites. I posted about another problem with some bees shaking. Perhaps apiguard is killing the trachial dudes and some bees are dying of clogged tubes.

You need menthol.  Something on the lines of Mite-a-thol for tracheal mites.

You got it, Aprigaurd will take care of both mites the varroa and trachial mites. Nothing else is needed.
