Oxybee is an innovative and organic varroa treatment based on oxalic acid with glycerol and essential oils. The formulation with glycerol is a key advantage of Oxybee as it significantly improves the adhesiveness of the oxalic acid on the bees1, and thus, the in-hive distribution of the product by contact. As a result, field data have shown a higher efficacy2 of Oxybee compared to the standard formulation of oxalic acid and sucrose3.

Oxybee is the first oxalic acid with glycerol and essential oils available in Europe.
