High-Potency MELOXAL Oxalic Acid Strips for Bees

Superior Bee Mite Treatment for Organic Apiary Supplies

APIBUZZ's MELOXAL strips have 7 grams of oxalic acid in each strip. This is more than the cheap bee mite strips you find in stores. Each box weighs approximately 800 grams (including the box). This sufficient amount of oxalic acid makes the treatment for bee mites more effective.

Safe for Placing Honey Supers

You can use MELOXAL strips to treat bee mites while honey is under production. Just feel free to leave the honey supers on. 

Organic Bee Mite Treatment Solution

We make Meloxal strips from oxalic acid, a near-natural treatment option for beekeepers.

Extended Release Oxalic Acid Strips

Each bee strip contains 7 grams of oxalic acid with slow-release features. This helps to effectively treat Varroa in bee colonies.

Long-Lasting Control Varroa Destructor Mites

MELOXAL strips use a slow-release method. This helps control varroa mites for a longer time, so you need fewer treatments.

Easy-to-Use Varroa Mite Strips

A simple application process makes these varroa mite strips convenient for both novice and experienced beekeepers.

---------------------------------------

Generic Name】Oxalic Acid Sustained-Release Strip

Proprietary Name】Meloxal 

Active Ingredient】Oxalic Acid

Descriptions】This product is a composite fiber strip.

Pharmacological Action】Oxalic Acid Dihydrate is a contact miticide that kills bee mites upon physical contact with them.

Drug Interactions】Do not use in conjunction with pesticides and alkaline drugs to avoid ineffectiveness.

Action and Purpose】Used for preventing and controlling bee mites (Varroa mite & Tropilaelaps mite).

Dosage and Administration

1. Meloxal strips can be used year-round and are not affected by temperature; however, they are best used in summer or autumn. Oxalic acid slow-release strips work by contact. They work best when the temperature is above 15°C and bees are active in the hive. It is best to avoid using the strips during peak honey flow times. However, you can use them if the varroa mite problem is serious.

2. For a standard colony (10 frames of bees), use 4 strips, with 1 strip for every 2.5 frames of bees. Fold the strips and place them in the middle of the brood frames, specifically between frames 2, 4, 6, and 8. Each application can maintain efficacy for 4-6 weeks. Remove the strips after use.

3. Before applying to the whole apiary, choose 2 to 3 colonies for a trial. Observe them for 24 to 48 hours to find the right dosage. It is best to do the trial on a clear morning. This makes it easier to see the colony's condition. You can then adjust the dosage based on the trial results.
