>>Where are those of you in the US purchasing oxalic acid? ..
Nebraska was to have a section 18 mitacide approved but it is going
too slow for this year....
----------------------
Any hardware store should have it. It's used as wood bleach. It
comes in pure anhydrate form but call the manufacturer to confirm
they don't add anything else! I did. It's very inexpensive and you
use small amounts.
I can't help re. approvals and registrations. Oxalic acid has been
used for a couple of decades following thorough research in countries
that are no banana republics.
I only use oxalic acid along with screened bottoms for varroa
control. Unlike Checkmite or Apistan, OA leaves no unnatural levels
in honey or wax. Approval is taking a long time because there is no
big business pushing for it...
