Api-Bioxal RTU “Ready-to-use” removes the math and mixing, leaving you to just treat your hives. RTU is a better version of oxalic acid dribble created without a sugar syrup base, meaning the oxalic acid will stay active in hives longer. This shelf-stable formula can be stored at room temperature for at least 1 year, even after the bottle has been opened. This is because the formula contains no sugar, which can form toxic byproducts during storage and also tempts the bees to eat the treatment.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e0.5 liter (500mL) contains approximately 10 treatments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to use:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBest when colonies are broodless, but also allowed to repeatedly apply to colonies with brood, similar to repeated oxalic acid vaporization treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow apply:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhile wearing appropriate PPE, measure 5mL of ready-mixed solution, and then dribble directly onto the bees by squirting it between the top bars in each box.
