Argentina super saturated version. Diane sanmatero
researcher.
3-5% more loads reduced to less than 1%
Food grade glycerine
Chip board, like cardboard but chip is best.
Need pot to heat glycerin like wax pot.
Need dehydrate acid
Scale
Safety glasses
Glass measure or stainless
Baking soda to neutralize acid splash
7mil gloves
Stirring stick
Low temperatures so it doesn't gass.
Thermometer
1 part glycerin to .6 part dehydrated oxalic by weight
1000g kilo glycerin to 600 grams oxalic
Chip board of 30 point 1" x 18" , a bunch, some use shop towels
100 strips treats 20 hives.
300 bees or 1/2 cup bees in alcohol wash to count mites.
Need 30-40 grams per hive.
150degrees Fahrenheit warm glycerin, add slowly no splash. Raise temp slowly over 10 min. Hold a few min. Let cool.
Goal is 19g grams of solution per strip
Put strips n large tub, add solution. In 24 hours all will be absorbed. Drain any excess over queen excluser.
Can be stored for a few weeks. Too long forms hmf hydromethel ferferal which is toxic to bees. Two months is too long.
Use gloves. Fold strip in half, hang over frame. 4-5 in summer in a brood box. 1-2 in winter. Works in a week, continues over month. Strips are good for a month or so.
Research shows no transfer to honey or wax from italic acid.
Used in Europe for 30 years. Good for heat of summer or winter. You can pull honey and treat. Our population goes down July and August.
Always use gloves even when removing as acid stays active all the time.
If you try this, keep great records. Sample before then at 2,4,6 week intervals.
Early spring treat is formic acid, then after honey us pulled, use strips of oxalic, then in late fall 3-4% oxalic solution dribble in fall when nearly broodless, or use something else.
Use this for lots of hives, like 200.
Vaporizer method is better for 5-6 hives. May be easier. Need to do three treatments to break the brood cycle. More load of 2 after treatment.
Get a kill switch to stop from distance.
When storing hives, moldy is ok for need, but is stored wet and wrapped use paramoth to keep moths out. Replenish the crystal every 3-4 weeks. Sete up supers with rim, wrap and put paper plate in center with crystals. Slice open to replenish and tape closed.
