If using a Gas-Vap buy an extender pipe. Extender pipe will be cooler so not melt hive however be careful to check it for blocking between each use as this possible on occasion. Have a piece of stiff wire handy to keep pipe clear. Also wear full face visor just in case of a blow back ~ remembering you are using sublimated gas acid. Gas-Vaps work brilliantly are quick to use however must be treated with respect.
What are the legal legislations regards O/A? I've just bought some off amazon, 500g tub to use in my gazvap . It's not a brand name just says 99.6%oxalic dehydrate. Think it was £6.75 from bee equipment.
I could be wrong on this but I think the oxalic acid will linger in the hive for a few days even after treatment which can kill additional mites that were under caps at the time of treatment. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Mmm I did gasbag mine 2 times at the end of November but it’s been so warm in s/W Devon I have bees flying most days even this week so I was wondering if I should treat them a.gain or just not worry about it my hives are so strong I live and work on same site I was setting mole traps I last week and I was interrupted by A loud buzzing looked up and could see it be checking out lots of holes in fascia board for somewhere to sworn to interesting as it’s only January must’ve been from one of my hives as my hives are so strong and every time I go there and it’s warm enough they are absolutely heaving help
Thankyou for the explanation. This was a questioned I had last week for Ian Steppler, then stumbled apon this. Timing couldnt be better. 👍 Great video mate. Paul of Alberta
@@BlackMountainHoney I haven't decided yet. I'm thinking of growing so I don't want to buy something and then need to buy something else. Kinda like buy once cry once😄. Just finished my first year beekeeping with 7 hives.

How do you recommend doing an oxalic acid vaporization on a poly hive without damaging the poly?

I appreciate this video is a couple of years old but if you discount the price any thoughts on the Intantvap compared to alternatives? Cheers
Do you think putting construction plastic sheets under the hive will protect it from the grass growing? Is that okay? How good is it for the bees?
Early Dec UK = early Jun AUS😁

Studies show there is pretty much zero impact on any capped mites. Ill see if I can find them

You can treat multiple times with OA. Check the drops

Cheers Paul! Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful!
I need to pick up a vape. I hope I don't regret not vaping this winter.
Which one you going for?
