An Outstanding Heavy Duty Oxalic Acid Vaporizer at a great price ! This is the one Randy Oliver in Scientific Beekeeping says is "One of the highest-ranked models," and is the one you'll pass down to your son. It is manufactured in Switzerland and is now available here on Ebay! If you have more than 10 hives or just want the very best, this is the one for you. The pan is made of stainless steel, which allows an even and controlled transfer of the heat, thus preventing the overheating of the oxalic acid. Oxalic acid that is heated up too high decays and builds formic acid and CO2 reducing efficacy very fast and significantly. The vaporization of oxalic acid in beehives is a proven method of killing both Varroa & Tracheal mites. This vaporizer comes with "side" wings that serve to keep the vaporizer from overturning in the hive. Load the cup of the vaporizer with one gram (per brood chamber) of oxalic acid (wood bleach that you can purchase here on ebay or at your hardware store) insert it in the hive and connect it to any 12 volt car battery. The vaporization will complete in 2 1/2 minutes. Disconnect the vaporizer and leave it in the hive for a minute more to seal in the vapors and you're finished! Remove it from the hive, DUNK in a pail of water (no need to use a wet rag or sponge (but you can)) & you're ready for your next hive! Remember to seal the hive for 10 minutes after you remove the vaporizer to lock in the vapors. Cut pieces of foam work just great. With other treatment methods, you need to purchase them over & over and at substantial cost. With vaporization, you have a one time cost for the vaporizer and the treatments are almost pennies per treatment. More information is found at Dave Cushman's site.

Note: On this vaporizer, there is no glow plug that might need replacing! No additional wires or electrical connections to buy. It is ready to work right out of the box! This time of the year may be a GREAT time to treat! No heavy brood boxes to lift, no frames to pry apart. Just insert the vaporizer and treat. Easy, Simple & Effective! If the outside temperature is 40 degrees (f) or above, you can safely vaporize. Note: You must remove your supers prior to treating or simply place a cardboard or coroplast sheet between the supers and hive bodies. You can replace the supers or remove the cardboard 3 hours after the treatment period. I treat whenever I see mites in the drone brood. Since OA only kills the mites on the bees (phoretic) and not in the brood, you must do three treatments (once a week) to kill the mites as they are emerging with the brood. Use appropriate protection as you should not breathe the oxalic acid fumes. Remember, the $7.85 shipping is to anywhere in the USA! Resolve not to lose your hives to mites! Treat! These are now in stock so hurry and purchase yours!
