Saturday 18th January 2014 ~ Oxalic Acid Application

Oxalic Acid Application

We have felt mixed feelings about whether we should treat them or not but on balance thought it was worth it. We knew we probably had close on 1000 mites using the calculator and some suggestions were to treat in April which sounds daft as there will be nectar coming in then; so we have taken a gamble and hope it pays off.
 
 






The hive at the top of the garden away from the conservatory building site
Woodpecker guard mesh in place
 

 9 degrees and a calm day so hopefully a good time for a quick drizzle of warm Oxalic Acid solution



 Here we come girls


A super full of honey stores still and no bees in this level       



A nice cluster where we expected them having had the Varroa board in for a week
























Just checking that I had drizzled on any frames with bees
