£15.90

Licensed and effective oxalic acid-based treatment for controlling varroa mites.

Api-Bioxal is a trusted oxalic acid formulation, widely used by beekeepers to control Varroa destructor through either trickling or vaporisation. Easy to apply and highly effective, it’s an essential part of your hive treatment program, especially during broodless periods.

Key Features:

  • Dual Application: Can be used for both trickling and vaporising

  • Simple Preparation: For trickling, mix with sugar syrup to create a 4.2% solution

  • Effective Dosage: Trickle 5 ml per seam of bees between brood frames

  • Safe and Licensed: Approved for use in the UK

  • Two Pack Sizes:
    – 35g sachet – treats up to 10 hives
    – 175g sachet – treats up to 50 hives

Important Note:
Do not treat hives when honey supers are present if you intend to harvest the honey for human consumption, as oxalic acid affects honey quality and shelf life. Only treat when supers are off the hive.

Usage Timing:
Best used during periods when brood is minimal or absent — typically late autumn to early winter.
