12 months ONCE OPENED | 0.5-5 L TWO PACK SIZES |
Liquid sugar-free veterinary medicine. Direct trickling application. Organic beekeeping compatible.
Mixing syrup, weighing powder, calculating ratios… when you've got 80 hives ahead of you and the treatment window is closing, every extra step is time you don't have. Api-Bioxal® Solution is a ready-to-use formulation based on oxalic acid, glycerol and water, registered as a veterinary medicine (Reg. No. 4045 ESP): it is applied as it is with a syringe, with no syrup to prepare. Available as a 500 ml bottle (about 15 hives on average; at least 10 if every hive gets the maximum dose) and a 5 L bag-in-box (about 150 on average; at least 100), compatible with organic certification.
01 · PREPARATION
No weighing sachets, no mixing syrup to exact proportions: Api-Bioxal® Solution comes pre-formulated from the factory and is applied as it is with a syringe.
02 · FORMULATION
The formulation replaces sugar with glycerol: it contains oxalic acid, glycerol and purified water, and no sugar.
03 · APPLICATION
Dosing is straightforward: 5 ml per occupied bee space (between top bars of frames), applied with a syringe along each seam. Maximum authorised dose: 50 ml per hive per application.
04 · PACK SIZES
Unopened, it keeps until the expiry date on the pack; once opened, 12 months. Store it in its original packaging, with the container tightly closed to protect it from light and moisture, not refrigerated or frozen, and away from food.
05 · WHEN TO TREAT
Oxalic acid does not penetrate under the cappings: it acts solely on phoretic mites through direct contact. Maximum efficacy with little or no sealed brood. In winter, take advantage of the natural brood break. In spring-summer, use queen caging (Nicot cage or similar, at least 25 days) to render the colony broodless. A maximum of 2 treatments per year is authorised (winter and/or spring-summer). And the golden rule: treat all hives in the apiary simultaneously — one untreated colony is a reinfestation source through drifting and robbing that undermines the entire apiary.

Data sheet
12 months from opening the container. Unopened, the shelf life is 3 years.
For that period to actually hold there are three storage conditions: do not refrigerate or freeze, keep it in its original packaging and leave the container tightly closed, which is what protects it from light and moisture.
