Mixing my own Oxalic Acid treatment.

[mhill20]

Hi Everyone,
I intend to mix my own oxalic treatment ,I've got three hives to treat, whats the correct weight of oxalic crystals to sugar solution best suited to my needs!

7,5 g acid +100g warm water+100g sugar = to 3 double box hives or to 5 one box hive.

i uses finmans weights and had no problems.

5ml per seam of bees

 

[For want of a better word]

that the magic formula
can use 100ml of water... same as 100g.... you can use the 50ml syringe to measure it!!

Post office scales are accurate, so pop in and ask your local Mrs Goggins if you can use hers!!

Bye your own kitchen scale. It is not much. 1g accuracy is enough and you may scale water too.
