The most efficient methods of administering Oxalic Acid treatment to bees to fight off the varroa mite.

Easy to use.

How to use:

1. Add 1 gram of oxalic acid per brood box, no matter the brood box size, to the pan of your OA Vaporizer. You can use a 1/4 tsp. as a measuring tool. 1/4 of a tsp. is equal to 1gram. A colony with 2 brood boxes would need 2 grams (1/2 tsp.) for treatment, and a nuc box would use 1/2 of a gram (1/8 tsp.).

2.  Insert the vaporizer about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way into the hive from the front entrance.

3. Seal any openings in the entrance with cloth or foam.

4.  Put your respirator on.

5. Connect your vaporizer to the power source for 2 - 1/2 minutes.

6. Disconnect the vaporizer from the power source.

7. Wait for 2 minutes and remove the vaporizer to prepare for the next hive.

8. After taking the vaporizer out, reseal the hive for another 10 minutes. If you wish, after disconnecting the vaporizer from the power source, you can leave it in the hive for the full 10 minutes.

9. Remove all of the cloth or foam that is sealing the entrance.

10. Make sure that the vaporizer is cooled down before using on the next hive or storing the vaporizer. If you have the Varrox model, you can dunk it into water to cool it down. With the Varro cleaner or Varro Vap models, wipe out the cup with a wet cloth.

11. If you have brood present repeat these steps every 7 days for 3 weeks. A total of 3 treatments are required, as the vapor doesn't kill mites in the capped brood cells, so you need to vaporize those mites as they emerge with the brood during this time frame.

12. If you have a brood less period when you treat, then only 1 treatment is required.
