Hi Lubomir. I use the sponges with KA and VG. Ittihad is the second use. Bees cover the sponge with propolis. Israrla it normal? Thanks for starling this method.
Just brilliant...... All those thinking beekeepers are right behind you. You have a very big responsibility that must work. Your operation should be heralded by a fanfare of trumpets. What do the Authorities think about the success as regards the strips? I hope you don't mind me asking that question. Best of wishes Mick in the UK
Great question. The authorities haven’t commented... The NZ rules state:- Schedule 2 of the ACVM Regulations 2011 provides for an exemption from registration under the ACVM Act referred to as the ‘own use’ exemption. In a beekeeping context, the ‘own use’ exemption is commonly used when a beekeeper prepares and applies preparations containing generic substances, such as oxalic acid or formic acid, to their own hives for control of Varroa mites.
Havent heard of Oxalic Acid/ with Glycerine on Cardboard Strips. Interesting concept... 👀 Tip: Here in the UK* we use a Ratio of x7 grams per 100ml of Water, then add 100 grams of Sugar (as an OA in 1:1 Syrup Solution.) And use this as a O/A Trickle*... Make up the Volume you require, but use it straight away, Do Not store it ! (O/A use: follow local Vet Med Laws. Each Country varies to VM approved Treatments.*) Ideally each Seam of Bees need x5 mls of OA Trickled directly onto them, in the Brood Nest. I use a large x60ml Oral Drench Syringe from an Animal Vet, or you can by drench guns (eg for Sheep) and set that to x5ml doseage. Hope this helps.* 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2022. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Love the Drone footage in this Video. Amazing. 😎

OADe cost us about $.75 (US) a month per hive. Way less than 25% of most other treatments . . . .
What ratio do you use?
@Justin Landrum He gave the Ratios starting at ~ 2:40

Any special type of cardboard?
I did OA with sugar water in a weed sprayer.
Opened the lid and hosed down the bees 🐝 just after pulling honey.
