Hi Bob,
I mix 35 grams of oxalic crystals with 1 litre of 1:1 syrup, which I make by mixing 625 grams of sugar with 625 grams of water. I use 60 ml syringes from the local vet to apply the syrup and put 50 ml on each hive. I don't crack the boxes, just look down to see where the bees are. Prob average more like 7 or 8 ml per seam at that rate since the bees usually aren't right to the outside of the top box. I think I've used oxalic for 2 or 3 years, haven't had any problems with the above recipe.
Btw, where are you that you are applying oxalic this late?
Have a great day,
Carmenie
