License needed to purchase Oxalic acid?

[jenkinsbrynmair]

If it's sold premixed with a less than 10% w/w solution you are golden.

I actually think that it's the only mention of Oxalic in the new regulations

Going by the feedback, no.

And most beekeepers are way too canny to pay that kind of price for oxalic acid.

They sell a lot of other things, with just as big a quantities sold.

Citric acid for instance.....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1kg-Citri...h-bomb-descaler-highest-quality-/131041773769

...or Glycerol.....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1L-1000ml...ade-BP-VG-vegetable-e-cigarette-/130888936519

Has anyone decided to apply for a licence or already done so?

How would you pass the 'good reason' test - the only oxalic you're supposed to put on your bees is the Apibioxial scam

 

[For want of a better word]

what's your good reason going to be?

As a cleaning agent for my rusty frames, as the Caustic Soda ( NaOH) I usually use dose not do the job in hand??

However as a business no need to apply for any licence



All a load of HOGWASH !

Good argument - but in my opinion that wouldn't pass muster.

Perhaps we should all sit quietly in the corner... and wait till the big boogieman has gone away!

Still plenty freely available - anyway, I won't be buying any more OA

I think I just have enough until I retire and hopefully by then terrorism will be a thing of the passed

At a meeting yesterday where the seasonal bee inspector was present, and when asked about the licence needed to purchase or own Oxalic acid he said he knew nothing at all about it and it was a new one on him!!

Do you know what, Val
That doesn't surprise me.

 

[user 3509]

I forgot to say that none of the other beekeepers in the room knew about it either!

Old rule: If you a criminal, do not admit anything. Let police get evidencies.

finman is spot on
Perhaps the rule exists only on this forum?

This is going forward.

OA has been 10 years illegal in this forum, and now it has been considered, that licence may be in future.

Just the usual bunch who revel in telling people what they can't do rather than tell people what they can. Still available with all the big bee suppliers. Not that I shall be buying any................................................... more
