OXUVAR
OXUVAR is a new oxalic acid-sucrose trickling product for Varroa control.
To trickle oxalic acid to control Varroa in beehives is widespread in Europe because it is characterized by low residue risks and by its simple application. OXUVAR has been developed in order to simplify the trickling method.
Application and dosage
OXUVAR consists of:
- 750 ml container with dihydrate oxalic acid solution

The beekeeper empties the sucrose powder into the 750 ml container and obtains 500 ml of a ready-to-use product. The 250 ml free space of the container allows for a quick pouring of the sugar powder and simplifies dissolving of the sucrose into the oxalic acid solution.
Trough the wide opening of the container, the beekeeper can easily fill a syringe with the needed amount to treat a colony. Trickle the solution directly onto the bees between the frames.
30 ml for a small colony
40 ml for medium-sized colony
50 ml for a large colony.
