How to Kill Varroa Mites - Gas Vap Review and Oxalic Acid Sublimation Explained

Varroa mites remain the most destructive parasite in modern beekeeping and this video gives you a complete review of the Gas Vap sublimator and how to use oxalic acid correctly to kill varroa mites. I explain the science behind sublimation how the vapour works inside the hive and why this method is one of the most reliable ways to reduce mite loads during broodless periods.

You will see how to prepare the equipment safely how to handle the oxalic acid crystals how to load the pan correctly and how to position the device so the vapour spreads evenly through the colony. I explain how temperature affects the burn, how to judge the right interval between treatments and how to avoid common mistakes such as overheating, blocking entrances or applying sublimation when brood levels are too high for good results.

The video also covers safety, mask use, ventilation, handling hot equipment and how to protect yourself and your bees during the process. You will learn how to assess the mite drop before and after treatment and how sublimation fits into a complete yearly varroa strategy that keeps colonies healthy and stable.
