Hello Everyone, Welcome to Adventures In Beekeeping.  My name is Dale and I am a second year beekeeper.  Today I am showing one of the treatments for the varroa mite.  This treatment is called Oxalic Acid Sublimation.  The oxalic acid crystals are placed in to a heating device. The crystals are heated rapidly causing the crystals to sublimate.  Sublimate is the name given when a solid is transformed directly into a vapor.  This process is sometimes incorrectly called Oxalic Acid Vaporization. 

This is my process.  This is what I have learned about how to do this treatment.  This video may be educational, however, please do not depend solely on this video to determine when and how to do this treatment.  Please do your own homework.
