Oxalic Acid Extended Release Varroa Mite Treatment - Randy Oliver
Managing Varroa Mite levels in Honey Bee Colonies. We currently do not have adequate tools to effectively control Varroa Mite in Honey Bee Colonies during those times when honey supers are on and our Bees are collecting Honey. The Extended Release Oxalic Acid treatment designed by Randy Oliver is a promising method that could control Varroa Mite levels with Honey Supers on. More work needs to be done, Contact your Local Beekeeping Organizations, Farm Organizations and get them involved.

Mid-Season Varroa Mite Treatment Using Formic Pro
Hi here is a video too see it will tell you more about oxalic treatment .Ep48 making and using oxalic acid strips ,kiwi wildman nz (once known as a kiwi beeman) let me no you got it
Why a 40min video? Could be done in 5/6mins painful
You didn't have time to watch the video, but you had time to type a comment. It always amazes me when someone complains about something for no particular reason other than to complain. Lots of Kevin's and Karen's out there.
I watched the full video, seriously way too long
Great video very useful information thanks
I've heard that pouring a bit of water on the strip towels can refresh the effect. Has anyone tried that? I know it depends on the material. Apparently the PIG ones take to the refresh.
see that is the problem with non regulated treatments. There are a lot of things people do that are not tested.
I can't imagine how that particular method would be a problem. It came up in a discussion with Bob Binnie.
An ongoing treatment on 1 chemical... Have we learned nothing about how organisms develope resistance to chemicals?
There is no one single treatment I would use. Extended release oxalic acid would be used in conjunction with a full pest management protocol. It would be just one tool to use to mitigate varroa mite. The most important tool a beekeeping can use to control varroa mite is an alcohol wash because that enables you to monitor their levels. So you know if your treatment protocol is working.
Excellent info video, thank you! A tip I heard through the grapevine to speed up the process for mixing…preheat your glycerin to about 130-140 F then mix in the OA. It will cut your prep time in half.
Thanks for the video, Hello from Kajun Homestead New sub
Thanks for the sub!
I have a layens horizontal hive. Would I just hang the two pieces from to of frame going down and where the brood is? Capped, uncapped?
in New Zealand they impregnate cardboard strips and hang them over the frames Vertically . Search for New Zealand oxalic acid treatment on TH-cam and you should find a video of how they do it. I'm not sure if the Swedish towels may be too thick to hang vertically as the bees need to walk on the surface to be able to spread the oxalic acid around. Seeing that I would never actually use it because it's illegal in Ontario, Canada. It would be hard for me to give exact treatment or advice.
I am in the South Carolina. Our hives frequently never go completely broodless in the winter. We have frequent days in the 50s and 60s with intermittent freezing weather. Would it be appropriate to use this method in Jan/ Feb/march. Brood nest is usually split between the 2 boxes. Thanks for a precise presentation.
Randy Oliver's research. He suggests that it be used during honey flow when the bees are actively moving up and down through the hive. The bees need to be traveling up and down through the boxes that they step on the pads and disperse the acid around. If they're in cluster, they're not going to do that, so I would assume from what I've read that that might not be an appropriate treatment at that time. There are other things available for use when the bees are in cluster.
Seems like any treatments that stay in the hive over time, eventually lose their effectiveness. Are we setting ourselves up for the mites to build resistance against OA, by using OA as an extended release? OA seems to be the only effective tool we have left. The magnificent thing about it is, it doesn’t stay in the hive long. With extended release OA, are we setting up an environment for the mites to build resistance? Just a concern I have with all the extended release OA talk.
There is no one single treatment I would use. Extended release oxalic acid would be used in conjunction with a full pest management protocol. It would be just one tool to use to mitigate varroa mite. The most important tool a beekeeping can use to control varroa mite is an alcohol wash because that enables you to monitor their levels. So you know if your treatment protocol is working.
Have you tried to refresh the pads with a bit of water?
Not sure if that is necessary? Randy Oliver does not mention doing that. Doing extra, untested things to treatments is not always the best thing to do.
Good presentation. Chris Werner puts pads on his colonies just as you demonstrate. He puts them on his colonies as soon as they arrive in Michigan from Florida. He leaves them on until they move them back to Florida in October. There was no mention of whether or not it was "approved". 😉
When did Chris move to Michigan
I saw a presentation at NAHBE given by Greg Rogers. He documented improved efficacy in using 1/4 pads in each quadrant when compared to 1/2 pads.
I did not get to go I am a care giver but I did hear it worked for greg can you tell me everything he did Thanks
I will have to look into that. Thanks
I did not get to go can u tell me what Greg did Thanks
Hi I live in nz we use dry wall shim for oxalic treatment check it out ,At hive word nz beekeeping
Going to check this out can you tell me more thanks
A new product is coming on the market shortly that will be legal in many states. Varroxsan Oxalic Acid Strips.
89.99 for 60 strips
😮
Looked at Varroxsan. Application is 4 strips draped over frames in each brood chamber. Application will be a bit of a pain We will have to see if it comes to Canada and what the price will be when it gets here.
@@Innisfilcreekhoney $89.99 here in the US 60 strips in a package.
That's $6 USD per brood box.
Works great on new nuc once new queen is going gangbusters. So individuals could get 30 days exposure before honey supers go on. I can only use approved product to kill mites. If I were to make my own mixture of essential oils not approved is illegal. I can self medicate my dog with over the counter medication. Your right about company’s making synthetic no money for them. Thanks for education the masses
I won't be using formic pro ever again. Lost half my queens and killed 10 days of brood in all hives . Wrecked this years honey revenue.
I have never had that experience. What was the temperature when you treated? I have been using it for years and it works every time.
@@Innisfilcreekhoney I'm near Sault ste Marie. Treated around the end of May, if you recall it was through a cool spell. High of 22c, most days were around 16.
@@Innisfilcreekhoney watching other keepers, I've come to conclusion that with years of use, many have accidentally breed formic resistant queens by culling all the non resistant. Was interesting to see Ian steepler different queens react.
@@stuffnsuch631 Just like we will probably never be immune to fire it is extremely unlikely that Varroa Mite will ever build an immunity to Formic Acid. That being said, it is important no matter what treatments you use that you test and monitor your hives to insure that their Varroa Mite levels stay low.
GREAT analogy, bro. First year beekeeper, here. I have approached this venture with the same mindset. This is my herd, my pack, I took the responsibility so I have to treat this with the same respect and discipline. Glad TH-cam suggested your channel. 🫶🏼
Creamed?
Not sure what the question is.
Thank you. I've been using the fleas on dogs for years. Good on you!
Is there a trick to loading the plunger? Every time, no matter the dosage set, the oxalic acid power fails to stay in. Update! Adding a couple drops of water will make it stick in the plunger. Add water drops, shake shake shake and its good to go!
You can try adding a few drops of water to the oxalic acid and mixing it up. Just a little bit of moisture. Will make it pack like Sand on the beach when you're making sandcastles
@@Innisfilcreekhoney It works! Thank you
How do you reduce the strong alcohol smell in the tincture
If you're using alcohol, there's really no way to get rid of the alcohol smell. You could try doing a water tincture but that's a little more involved
Where did you get that egg fridge? And the shelves are great!!
Egg fridge came from a restaurant supply store. The shelves we made. All those angle cuts are a bit of a pain, but it does look cool. Thanks!
Thanks Ontario man. Looks like the same ants I have as well. Was about to nuke everything....
Can I know the aize of you wick?
that is a 1/0 pre-tabbed wick - innisfilcreekhoney.com/shop/ols/products/tealight-candle-pre-tabbed-wick-100-pieces
That's an interesting combination!😮
Saw you ạt the Beeton honeyfest yesterday!
Does it matter if my propolis is balled up? It is very gummy like a firm putty. Do I need to do anything to it first?
The alcohol with dissolve it. It may take a few days longer but it will work fine,
Absolutely the most beautiful store I’ve ever seen
Looks delicious... Send me a complimentary jar please..
Thank you. This video of yours put a fire under beekeeping organizations and beekeepers in 🇧🇧. Which was greatly needed.
those were crematogaster i think. They can easily swarm other ants but they don't do well against bees because they're basically dwarves compared to them. You should come to Australia, then you'd see green-headed ants storming my neighbour's hive and ripping the legs off honeybees.
I was looking for a video like that. Go figure it would be Australia 😂
@@doubiegaming9577 Those green headed-ants are absolute menaces, they're everywhere where there is grass and they're some of the only ants that don't think twice before attacking everything around them. I've seen swarms of them ganging up on stray honeybees and they're decently big for ants as well. Scientific name: Rhytidoponera metallica
OMG!! That's horrible 😬
@@redheadsrule2785 I know right? Their stings hurt as well
Thank you 😊
Great videos: QUESTIONS: If you are selling other peoples' farm products along with your own, how do you know how to split up the earnings on a self-serve system? Do you take a certain percentage of their sales for them to have their products at your stand? Would if some of their products happen to get stolen? How would you handle such situations?
If a product is missing I assume it has sold. If it has sold then I was paid for it. Very easy system.
🎉
Once its been sat for a few weeks and strained can you add more vodka to the left over debris to make more
you could, but at that point you might not get a very concentrated tincture. It would be diluted more and not as potent.
I have an uncovered wooden bee landing on my hive. Can I paint it or would the bees not like to walk on paint? Thanks
bees do not care if it is painted. The paint is there to protect the wood and make it last longer.
The honor system would only work in a high trust society, which is generally those of European descent (White).
I found the instructions lacking on my purchase. Does the measuring tube need cooling between doses?
Yes, the instructions included are lacking. That is why I made the video. I have never let the tube cool down. I do notice that if I use it for a long time the O ring starts to not seal as effectively.
@@Innisfilcreekhoney I will be watching your video. I have done a lot of mite checks after doing ox last all and none have found any mites - so far. So, I will be using the new tool this fall again, as well as, other treatments that may be necessary should I find a heavy mite load in the near future. I'm also making splits to keep the mite load down.
Hi I am a beekeeper on the island as well. Looking forward to see what you can learn about our bees.
They're pretty much the same as bees in Canada. It's more learning about nectar flows and nectar sources and access to treatments and things like that that will be learning curve.
Great Video. 1 ? - what do you do with the left over debris? Can it be useful for something?
I discard it. As in my mind I have extracted most of the propolis. Some people add the sediment left over to creams.
How long do you leave the hive closed up
I leave the hive closed for about 10 minutes to make sure that the vapor has time to settle on all the bees before they leave the hive.
I'd have the Open sign lit up 24/7. Also some of the road signs were kind of low-contrast, I had difficulty spotting them even when you were announcing them. If you don't own that land, it might be worth offering your neighbors something like $10 credit per month for permission to put up a larger sign on their land. And to have it say something like "24/7 Farmer's Market" rather than just "Honey"
Sweet
Enjoyed your video! This may be new for your present location.....but you have a lot more experience than you let on! Ft. Myers. Is RR WW Emerson Ramsey still around?
Nice vid. Thanks for sharing. I'm now getting into beekeeping
Watching from Trinidad. Those are some real calm bees. Alot of the bees here are Africanized so most people wear bee suits and gloves. 😂
Good looking ladies. 😅
When I first encountered robbing, I tried everything. I finally built robbing screens. That wasn't perfect but, the colony survived. Best way is to move the hive away for a day or two. Thankfully, I have 2 bee yards now.
Beauty before you know it you will be selling your labours from end of drive 😎😎😎. You must be really missing the start of our 🇨🇦 winter 🥶. Thanks for video Brian
Awsome
