Ah I didn’t see that - there are recipes for making your own, there might even be a thread or two on here?
I have got oa strips from abelo before but that was a few years ago.

Me too but I abandoned them for some reason.
There is a member here who I'm sure has used them through this year and got good results. Maybe he will pop on to say where he sources them

The packaging that I kept tells me manufactured in Greece and distributed by Lyson, I suppose the obvious thing to do would be to contact Lyson, I just thought someone here would know what is hapenning

I think they were not licenced/approved for UK use so were withdrawn, it's why I think Abelo stopped selling them

I have corresponded with Lyson and they can't say when/if they will have them again

Sod's Law, I'd just decided to go with the Abelo 'cleaning' strips to clean my out apiaries and save me repeated sublimation visits, but looks like these are all I can find https://konigin.com.pl/en/categories/666-paski-z-kwasem-szczawiowym.html and I can make better ones a la Randy Oliver myself, theoretically speaking obviously.

Thanks for finding that. I searched their site already and they didn't show

Excellent description of what they can be used for.

I bought their last lot of Payne's nuc brood extensions - grand quality, but it takes a decent while to get here.
