Rich,

The article <here> is getting a little old but the information is still relevant.

Whichever way you go, make sure you follow the EPA-approved application instructions <here> for treating Varroa mites with oxalic acid. The label is the law. There are a lot of you-tube recommendations out there (such as repeated applications) that not only are not covered by the label (i.e. illegal) and are very harmful to the bees. I've already heard of colony losses following late-season repeated applications this past year.
