Api-Bioxal® – Oxalic Acid Varroa Treatment

Api-Bioxal® is an oxalic acid-based varroa treatment registered for the control of Varroa destructor in honey bee colonies. Suitable for use as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, Api-Bioxal offers beekeepers a highly effective organic treatment option during broodless periods or when applied according to approved application methods.

Manufactured by Veto-pharma, Api-Bioxal is available in both powder and ready-to-use solution formulations, providing flexibility for a range of beekeeping operations.

Key Benefits

  • Organic oxalic acid-based varroa treatment
  • Effective against phoretic (adult) Varroa mites
  • Available in powder and ready-to-use liquid formulations
  • Suitable for commercial and recreational beekeepers
  • Easy to prepare and apply (depending on formulation)
  • Supports an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program

How to Use

Api-Bioxal can be applied using approved application methods, depending on the product formulation and label instructions.

Typical application methods include:

  • Trickling (dribble) onto clustered bees during broodless periods.
  • Vaporisation (sublimation) using approved equipment where permitted.
  • Ready-to-use solution for convenient application without mixing (product dependent).

Always follow the APVMA-approved product label for the correct application method, dosage and timing.

Active Ingredient: Oxalic Acid Dihydrate

 

Best Time to Treat

Api-Bioxal delivers the best results when colonies have little or no sealed brood, as oxalic acid only controls mites present on adult bees. It is commonly used during winter, after artificial brood breaks, or as part of a strategic varroa management program.

Regular mite monitoring before and after treatment is recommended to assess treatment effectiveness and determine future management requirements.

Always read and follow the APVMA-approved product label before use. Api-Bioxal should be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program alongside routine mite monitoring and rotation of treatment methods to support healthy, resilient honey bee colonies.
