Beekeepers are reporting absconding and adult bee loss after Apivar 2.0 in hot weather, and a multi-university trial is on the way. What the public reports have in common, what the label says, what to do if the strips are already in your hives, and why the cool season the thread is waiting for is oxalic acid’s season.
Lorob Bees is the primary US seller of the InstantVap, the cordless oxalic acid vaporizer for bees that runs on the 18V or 20V tool battery you already own.

Compare all four models on the oxalic acid vaporizers page, or stock up on EPA-registered EZ-OX oxalic acid.
