Hi Lloyd,
I was at the Ulster Beekeeper's Association convention at Greenmount last
week, the main speaker was Preben Kristiansen,currently working in Sweden as
a Disease Advisor for the Swedish Beekeepers' Association, and who has
worked in a similar capacity in Denmark and Norway;
In one of his lectures he showed a slide with the following information:
Denmark Registered Medicament is Apiguard and the Allowed medicaments are
The organic acids and essential oils, Bayvarol
Finland Registered Medicament is Apistan and the The organic acids and
essential oils.
Norway Registered Medicament none Allowed medicaments are The organic acids
Sweden Registered Medicament Apistan, Apiguard and the Allowed medicaments
are The organic acids and essential oils
From my own knowlege:
In Ireland (The Republic) the licenced medicaments are Bayvarol and
Apiguard,
In the UK the licenced medicaments are Bayvarol, Apistan, Apiguard there is
ongoing discussions with the UK government about Oxalic Acid, the
Medications Board are not at all keen to allow it to be used.
As far as I know the only place where an oxalic acid mix is licenced is in
Northern Germany where Andermatt have obtained a licence for Oxuvar which is
a package of dilute oxalic acid and a packet of sucrose.
The EU has decided that there is no need to place a maximum Residual level
of oxalic acid in honey.
I stand to be corrected
Ruary
