The mixture is then applied to paper towels or wooden strips that are placed in the hive. Thanks to the properties of glycerin, the oxalic acid is released slowly through evaporation over a longer period – often up to a month or more. This means that mites are combated continuously as they emerge from the brood cells.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdvantages of the method:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_ua7qq_146\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLong-acting treatment that does not require repeated interventions in the hive\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLess disturbance and stress for the bee colony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh efficiency according to conducted studies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore natural method that reduces the need for stronger chemicals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoes not significantly affect honey when used correctly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImportant to keep in mind:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTreatment with chemicals against varroa mites must not be performed when honey supers are on the hive.
