Varromed

Does anybody here use this routinely?
What do you think of it?
I’m keeping an eye on a thread elsewhere and somebody there tells me that Buckfast Abbey are recommending it to their beginners as an autumn treatment.

It's a blend of oxalic/formic acids trickled onto seams of bees. We already know that oxalic acid delivered by sublimation is the most effective way to administer OA, and is the least harmful to bees.

Professor Ratnieks says: “It is almost too good to be true that sublimation, the best method for killing Varroa with oxalic acid, also has no harmful effects on the bees, and is the quickest to apply.

But I agree that it would be interesting to hear feedback from people who use it.
