| Product Overview |
| The Oxalic Acid Vaporizer Tool is a simple, effective device for controlling varroa mites by turning oxalic acid powder or crystals into a fine vapor inside the hive. Powered by a 12V battery, it quickly heats the acid so the vapor circulates throughout the colony. Treatments can be performed with honey supers on, and because oxalic acid is organic, it provides an effective option without leaving harmful residues in wax or honey. |
| Important Information About the Vaporizer Tool |
| For best results in New England, treatments are recommended in January when there is no capped brood, as well as in April, June, and again before winterizing. Before use, seal hive entrances and cracks to contain the vapor, and connect the vaporizer securely to the battery for the time specified in the oxalic acid instructions. Protective equipment, including a respirator, gloves, and safety glasses, is essential since vapors are hazardous to humans. The tool is durable, reliable, and should be cleaned after use to maintain performance. |
| Tips for Beginners |
| Beginners will find the vaporizer straightforward once they prepare in advance. Measure the correct amount of oxalic acid, have the hive sealing materials ready, and position the tool at the entrance before connecting to the battery. It is best to treat when all bees are inside, such as in the evening or during cooler weather. Always work upwind to avoid inhaling vapors, and remember that while the method is gentle on bees and brood, your safety depends on using protective gear. Over time, you’ll see how this tool becomes one of the most efficient and beekeeper-friendly ways to manage varroa mites. |
