Varroa Easy Check + Varroxsan Oxalic Acid Strips Bundle

Get a complete varroa management solution in one convenient package. This bundle includes one Varroa Easy Check for fast, field-ready mite testing and 20 Varroxsan Oxalic Acid Strips, enough to treat 5–10 colonies. It’s a natural, organic-compatible way to test and treat your hives for varroa mites without temperature restrictions or heavy chemical exposure.

Perfect for spring, summer, and fall use—especially when honey supers are still on the hive.

Key Features and Benefits

• Full Testing + Treatment Kit; Includes the Easy Check and 20 Varroxsan strips for integrated mite control across 5–10 colonies.

• Organic-Friendly Treatment; Varroxsan uses oxalic acid, a natural compound, and is approved for use in organic beekeeping systems.

• Slow-Release Oxalic Strips; Delivers consistent mite control over 42–56 days without harming brood, queens, or adult bees.

• No Temperature Limits; Effective year-round, even in hot or cold weather—perfect for southern and temperate climates.

• Safe With Honey Supers; Varroxsan can be used while honey supers are in place, so no need to disrupt nectar collection.

• Reusable and Efficient Tester; The Easy Check makes testing quick and repeatable, with alcohol that can be strained and reused.

Usage Instructions

Use the Varroa Easy Check first to determine mite levels. Collect 200–300 bees, mix with alcohol or windshield washer fluid, shake, and count the fallen mites through the strainer. If counts are high, begin treatment with Varroxsan.

Place up to 4 Varroxsan strips in the brood box where bees can walk on them. Leave in the hive for 42–56 days. If the colony is in a double brood box, use up to 6 strips total. Reposition strips if bees shift away from them. Always remove strips after 56 days.

Detailed Description

This test-and-treat bundle is designed for beekeepers who prefer natural and practical solutions to varroa mite control. The Varroa Easy Check allows fast and accurate mite load assessment using an alcohol wash, helping you decide exactly when to intervene. It’s compact, rugged, and easy to clean—ideal for multiple hive inspections in a single day.

The included 20 Varroxsan strips are packed with slow-release oxalic acid, a naturally occurring organic acid shown to be over 98% effective in reducing mite populations. Designed for low-maintenance, long-term application, these strips stay in the hive for up to 56 days, reducing the need for repeated treatments. Varroxsan is safe to use during honey production and does not require temperature-specific handling, making it one of the most flexible options available.

Shelf Life:

• Varroxsan: 24 months from the manufacture date
