API BIOXAL RTU-250ml

250ml Bottle for 5-50ml treatments

Looking for an easier alternative to vaporizing oxalic acid or mixing your own dribble with sugar syrup? Api-Bioxal RTU “Ready-to-use” removes the math and mixing, leaving you to just treat your hives. RTU is a better version of oxalic acid dribble created without a sugar syrup base, meaning the oxalic acid will stay active in hives longer. This shelf-stable formula can be stored at room temperature for at least 1 year, even after the bottle has been opened. This is because the formula contains no sugar, which can form toxic byproducts during storage and also tempts the bees to eat the treatment.

Api-Bioxal RTU has been approved by the EPA and the following states:  The New England States.

When to use: Best when colonies are broodless, but also allowed to repeatedly apply to colonies with brood, similar to repeated oxalic acid vaporization treatments.

How apply: While wearing appropriate PPE, measure 5mL of ready-mixed solution, and then dribble directly onto the bees by squirting it between the top bars in each box. Only apply to seams between frames that are occupied by bees. A single application treats broodless overwintering colonies, swarms, packages, and other broodless colonies. Repeated applications permitted when brood is present, 7-10 days apart, up to 4 applications.

Features List:

• Treatment is already mixed up at the right dose, so the product is ready-to-use. (That’s what “RTU” stands for!)
• The dose of OA has a concentration of 6.2%, higher than what is approved in homemade sugar syrup dribbles.
• And most importantly, the sugar syrup has been replaced with different food-safe and bee-safe mixers that will allow the oxalic acid to stay active in the hive for longer, without tempting the bees to eat it and potentially harm themselves.
• More stable for storage than homemade OA sugar syrup

Specifications:

• RTU has a dosage of 6.2% Oxalic Acid
