No, and none in Britain or USA either, he's been banned from the lot!

Do you know how many?

If Santa exists, I will be banned very soon. He had got so many letters.

Sussex invented? The best?

That method has been used 20 years. Not very popular.

It is not healthy to the beekeeper. It is complex system with auto accu.

As if we did'nt know

"sublimation, by which the chemical is vapourised inside the hive using an electrically heated tool – has no negative effect on the bees"
Its a bit bold of them to say that anything as NO negative effects.

Also this?

Professor Francis Ratnieks, head of LASI, says that beekeepers should cease using the other two methods ("trickling" and "spraying", in which a solution of oxalic acid is used) as they are harmful to the bees and less effective at killing Varroa.​

and

In addition, the project quantified possible harmful effects of oxalic acid, both in terms of the number of worker bees killed at the time of treatment and the mortality and strength of the colonies four months later in spring.​

Without paying to read the article it's impossible to see how researchers reached these conclusions.

Don't know how they reached that conclusion either, but I reached the same one years ago, long before they reached theirs.

Somebody is now telling untruths proudly. But experienced beekeeper know that thing. Never mind.

It is same with Randy Oliver. He does his experiments, which someone else has done 10 years ago.

Make sure you rid the chamber of oxalic before loading up with baccy.
