Oxalic Extended Release

[paul24]

Is the extended-release OA for varroa mites approved to be used in the UK?
This is the one Randy Oliver is doing his research.
If so what are your thoughts?

Anything home made is unlikely ever to get the go ahead
Some company might take on the risk but I think it's remote

I hope you don't mind me asking, do you use the strips in a meticulous way as does Randy Oliver and what ar your findings regards the efficiency of the strips after moonths of use and in particular how does the efficiency of the strips compare with fumigation of oxalic acid at 4 gramm per hive?
Might I ask without offending you why is an Australian ineterested what transpires here in the good old uk your question is intriuging, cobber?

Careful, there are lots of international members on here - all who have an interest in what goes on in UK beekeeping and we are a broad church interested in what goes on in beekeeping in the rest of the world ... even Finland.

I think at the moment we can't use the OA fogging method.
