What's Included?

• 1 × Oxalic Acid Gas Evaporator (stainless steel)

• 2 × measuring spoons (4 g and 6 g)

• 5 × Replaceable gaskets

NOTE: Gas torch not included.

How to Use

1. Add Oxalic Acid: With the dosing spoon, add oxalic acid powder into the cooled vaporiser pan.

2. Turn On Gas Torch: Light your gas burner and turn it to the lowest flame. Do not put excess flame on any part of the product. Allow it to warm up, as it will not get too hot too quickly.

3. Wait For Vapour: Within seconds and with the appropriate temperature, you will start to see white vapour as oxalic acid vaporises.

4. Treat Colony: Insert the heated end into the entrance of the hive so vapour can disperse inside the hive.

During sublimation, the vapour coats the hive and bees in a crystal formation that is not lethal to bees but is to Varroa mites.

When & How Often To Apply

• A dose of approximately 4 g per colony

• Repeat every 5 to 7 days as necessary

• Best during broodless months (typically in late autumn or winter)

• For blocked pipes from overheating, apply heat from a flame onto the exterior casing to release.

Safety Information

• Always wear respiratory protective equipment (PPE) when applying this product.

• Do NOT use when there is open brood inside of the hive.

• Ensure that if you're treating in an enclosed area, there's adequate ventilation.

Who Should Use It?

• Beekeepers with medium to large apiaries

• Off-grid apiaries where electricity is not available

• Enclosed treatment during the winter or broodless months

• Those who want an oxalic acid method for application that is sturdy and reusable.
