Organic Acids:

Letter Templates

It is legal to use Organic Acids for Varroa Control provided that you obtain a Veterinary Prescription from your local vet issued under what is known as the "Veterinary Cascade Scheme". Veterinary Prescriptions are free (by law), but you may be charged an administration fee usually £10.00. The Veterinary Surgeon will want to know all the relevant details, as they are not trained in apiculture. The letter templates at left have been prepared by the National Bee Unit for you to give to vets.

There is a FAQ document about organic acids also produced by CSL.
