Hi Guys,

I've used oxalic acid as a mite control when experimenting with the effects
cell size. It's effective, cheap, easy to apply, and won't contaiminate the
beehive.

It's the most benign mite treatment I've tried on the bees and I've tried
them all except checkmite.

Just be safe with it. After all, it is a treatment and it does KILL mites.
Use it wrong and it can probably harm something/someone else as well.

Gone are days when the only skills needed for treating bees were good
eye-hand coordination, a strong back, and a love of repeatitive motion. :>)

Regards
Dennis
