Oxalic Acid Approved for Use in Canada
After a lengthy review of the documentation submitted by the Canadian Honey Council, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency has approved the use of oxalic acid for the control of varroa mites in honey bee colonies. They have determined that oxalic acid may be safely used, provided that specified conditions (4 pages) which will be posted on the CHC website www.honeycouncil.ca are respected.
Thanks to all those who supported this project with donations. It was an expensive undertaking but the Canadian Honey Council has gained an important tool for beekeepers.
Best wishes
