Oxalic Acid Chrystals

[Swift Nick]

Hello,
I understand that Api-Bioxal Chrystal are the only licensed oxalic acid treatment in the U.K., are they just oxalic acid chrystals or do they have an extra ingredient over the generic oxalic acid chrystals? In due course I intend to buy a Varrox & wanted to know if generic crystals are the same.
Thanks Nick

YES... but cut with glucose powder.... and 97% more expensive than the chemically identical generic product (Analar )

Apibioxal is vaporisable(sic).......It just leaves a sticky goo of caramelised sugar in the pan. Some people line the hot iron with cooking foil
You can clean the inside of the hive with generic Oxalic while the bees are still at home?

Autumn would be better... not so cold when scrubbing away!
