I want to know what do you think about use of Oxalic Acid in treatments against Varroasis.
I'm very satisfied of it.
I didn't try Oxalic acid myself but some beekeepers are satisfied with it. They spray it a few times in August There is noticed that after such spraying the bees don't take food (sugar syrup) from a feeder about 2 days. Furthermore, some beekeepers accuse the Oxalic acid of a Queen sterilising (stops egg laying ).
.Some beekeepers like formic acid. But sometimes bees are killed. The reason is supposed to be very great amount of Varroa mites in a colony. It means too much holes in a body of everyone bee.
Some use a net on a hive bottom and an exciting means, for eg : garlic, horse-radish, juniper, hop, etc.
