Product Code: M3052

Description

Api-Bioxal is a licensed oxalic based product. It can be distributed via two methods: trickling and vaporising. Packs come in 35g, 175g, 350g, enough to treat 10, 50 and 100 hives respectively if trickling. Do not treat hives when supers are on if you are taking the honey off for human consumption as oxalic acid ages honey, so cannot be sold commercially.

4.2% solution. Simply dissolve in syrup and trickle 5ml on to seams of bees between frames. 

Also suitable for use in vaporisers.

  • 35g sachet treats 10 hives
  • 175g sachet treats 50 hives
  • 350g sachet treats 100 hives

Wear suitable safety equipment.

 

Specifications

Trickling

1. Pour all powder into 500ml 1:1 warm sugar syrup (308ml water and 308g sugar).

2. Using a trickle 2 bottle, trickle 5ml solution in between each frame that has bees on. Maximum dose is 50ml per hive.

Vaporising

1. Measure out 2.3g of Api-bioxal powder and place in the pan of a vaporiser (Vapmite, Varrox or Sublimox).

2. Place the appliance in the entrance of the hive avoiding contact with frames.

3. Close up entrance to stop bees escaping.

4. Turn on the vaporiser and leave on for around 3 minutes according to the vaporiser instructions.

5. Keep the hive shut for a further 15 minutes.

6. Cool down using clean water and clean the vaporiser after use.

7. Repeat for each hive you wish to treat.

IMPORTANT: It is imperative that beekeepers use chemical treatments responsibly, using the correct dosage for the correct amount of time to avoid developing resistant strains of mites. Full protective mask, gloves and glasses should be worn when using oxalic acid products.
