So glad you like it, but we can't take credit. The bees are really the ones that know what they are doing.

Thanks Donna!

Thank you! We'll see you then!

Thanks so much! Glad you found the guide helpful, and I hope it makes choosing your first hive a little easier. Happy beekeeping! 🐝🍯

You are welcome! We're here to help :-)

Thanks sharing your thoughts! We’re really glad the OA strips are working well for you, and that storage tip is super handy-easy is definitely the goal! 😊 We hear you on the price and packaging, and I’ll make sure to pass that feedback along. Appreciate you being part of the movement towards natural beekeeping! 🐝

There has been a lot of research into the dosage level of oxalic acid. There is very good research from the University of Florida that suggests the USDA amount is far too small. 4 grams for 2 boxes of brood has been found to be a helpful amount. 4 grams is equal to 1 teaspoon. www.foxhoundbeecompany.com/blogs/beekeeping-equipment/oxalic-acid-vaporization

You can store them sealed after you open them and they will remain effective. 60 strips will do 15 hives once. So if you used in the spring and fall, it will cover 7-8 hives for a year. A smaller pack size will be available eventually.

Maybe you have a bee club or beekeeper friends that can share.

Current batch is good well into summer 2026.

We don’t have a definite release date yet, but we’ll make an announcement as soon as the Varroxsan oxalic acid strip is available for sale in California.

Not sure about that. We only fulfill varroa products shipped to the US.

It's definitely a nice compliment to vaporization.

Yes, I'm excited to try these vs. dripping method. Sounds like these strips replace vaporizing and drip of OA?

@@MaineMadeHomesteader Im not sure, it sounds like from the comment from @Foxhoundbeeco its to be used in conjunction with. ???

You are correct and we are pushing for another option, hopefully it will be available in the spring.

​@@FoxhoundbeecoIs there any reason someone couldnt break a pack into strips of 4 and vacuum pack them that way?

@@AdrenalineTheory I don't know about these brand made strips but that is how we store the home made ones. I just wrap them in plastic wrap and keep them from getting to warm and in a dry place. I store mine in a spare cooler, keeps them dry and they have been stable for 6 months now. Just keep air from getting to them or else they will dry out, I assume the store bought ones are similar.

Yea, NZ is ahead of the US on OA and allowing beekeepers to control their mites with OA. We are glad we finally have a legal option.

@@Foxhoundbeeco nice to have a chemical already found in the hive. are you allowed the vapour?

Sounds like a plan. They all have their place, and the strips don't work well when the bees are clustering. OA vapor is king then.

The inert ingredients are glycerin and cellulose.

@@Foxhoundbeeco that’s awesome thank you so much now I know they can last for a while if you put them in the plastic bag and seal it!!!

@@LaFontaineHoneyBees I agree. That seems to be a reasonable way to deal with the leftovers. Glycerin can absorb moisture from the air, so I would think that would degrade it. So keep it sealed and that seems reasonable.

Absolutely. I'm sure you'll do a video on it! We are excited it's on the market finally.

It’s not ideal to open the hive in those temperatures, so ideally, Varroxsan is applied in a period where the bees are active and moving during the entire 56-day treatment period. When the bees cluster, the treatment is not as effective.

Thanks!

It definitely is a nice alternative to the standard OA application. Both have their place, so it's nice to have another organic option now. You need the bees moving around the strips, so you don't want to use it when they are clustering up. Wait for warmer weather in the spring to install them.

I'm in Nigeria please how do I get this jar to package my honey product for sales?

Frames with drawn comb.

Plastic foundation is very easy to install. Pure wax foundation can be very tricky to install depending on which type you get. The easiest type of pure wax foundation to install is the ones with wires and hooks already embedded into the foundation.

It's designed to stay out. It's the right amount of ventilation with it open and you don't want to choke the air and make it to hard for the bees.

@@Foxhoundbeeco thank you for your reply. Tim

Much of that depends on the type of vaporizer you use. Good details all about how to do it on our blog. www.foxhoundbeecompany.com/blogs/beekeeping-equipment/oxalic-acid-vaporization

It's actually best do it when there is little to no capped brood. When splitting, capturing a swarm, requeening and during winter in most states are all good times.

Absolutely.

Feeders are sold separately.

When it's too hot to use Apiguard, even at a 25g dose, try these tips: use screened bottom boards for better ventilation, apply early in the morning or late evening when it's cooler, consider alternative treatments like oxalic acid vaporization, provide shade to the hives, and keep an eye on mite levels. You can also read more about it here. www.vita-europe.com/beehealth/wp-content/uploads/Apiguard.pdf Check out #12 and #16 for info on using Apiguard above 77°F and its effectiveness up to 104°F.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Safe travels, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Glad it was helpful!

Our pleasure!

Thank you for your concern. After harvesting pollen, there is still more than enough pollen available for the bees to use for their own colony. We always ensure that the bees' needs are met first, and sustainable beekeeping practices are in place to support the health and well-being of the colony.

Absolutely. We have a few versions of this process that we will publish. Thanks for commenting, we appreciate it.

They have a 45lbs block listed for 326.25 on their site.

Yea, we have a lot of wax options. www.foxhoundbeecompany.com/collections/pure-beeswax

Thanks. We have a couple other options too.
