I have bought the liquid version that is made and packaged as Api-Bioxal.

The list of Varoa treatments authorised in England states Api-Bioxal then in brackets (powder). Does this technically mean that pre-mixed solution is technically not allowed?

I guess it's no different to the end user following the instructions on the powder by mixing with syrup but does who mixes it make a difference legally?

I would say that it does but it would be an interesting test case prosecution.

API-Bioxal 44.2mg/ml Bee-Hive Solution has a VMD MA. (Issued 12/07/2023). Not sure where you got the list you looked at, but they are separate entries, and both are on there.
