You’ll be given a proposed course of treatment
Oxalic acid vapour only targets Varroa mites on adult bees. Mites hidden inside capped brood cells are protected until the young bees emerge. If brood is present, additional treatments are often required over several weeks to target mites as they leave the brood cells. The number of treatments recommended will depend on your colony's brood levels and mite monitoring results.
