Oxalic Acid Treatment
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
Now is a good time to treat your bees for Varroa with Oxalic Acid. Choose a calm, warm, (if possible), day. Work quickly and quietly to avoid disturbing the bees any more than is necessary. If you can, it’s better not to use any smoke as I find it agitates the bees too much, something on a cold winter day to be avoided.
