Oxalic acid strips represent a modern and progressive approach to varroa mite control. Made from cardboard soaked in a mixture of oxalic acid and glycerin, they allow for a slow and continuous diffusion treatment directly in the colony.

SKU: AO-2020

Description

By moving along the strips, the bees naturally participate in the distribution of the active ingredient, ensuring a prolonged action over several weeks.

Unlike one-off treatments, these strips act over a period of 6 to 8 weeks, covering several brood cycles. The varroa mite is exposed as it emerges, allowing for more consistent control of the infestation.

Functioning :

Fiberboard strips are suspended above the hives, and each strip is designed to fit a deep frame. However, they can also be used on medium-sized super frames.

  • Treatment period: 42 to 56 days (3 open brood cycles)
  • 18.42 % of oxalic acid
  • Safe for bees, brood and queens all year round
  • Usable with existing honey supers
  • 1 strip for approximately 2 1/2 frames of brood
  • Average efficiency of 98.6 %

Benefits :

  • Slow and prolonged diffusion
  • Effective in the presence of brood
  • Less dependent on temperature conditions
  • Gentle approach to the colony
  • Compatible with a sustainable beekeeping strategy (IPM)
