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.

      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.

    • @Innisfilcreekhoney
      @Innisfilcreekhoney วันที่ผ่านมา

      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.

    • @Innisfilcreekhoney
      @Innisfilcreekhoney วันที่ผ่านมา

      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.

  • @hankbaker1614
    @hankbaker1614 วันที่ผ่านมา

    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.

    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.
