Oxybee, Veto-pharma’s recently introduced treatment for Varroa mites, can now be purchased in Germany via retail beekeeping outlets having a license to sell Varroa treatments. Previously, customers in Germany could purchase the product only through pharmacies, veterinarians and local veterinary authorities.
“German authorities have relaxed the distribution requirements for all oxalic acid-dihydrate-based medicines with a concentration of up to 5.7 percent and all thymol-based medicines intended for treating bee colonies,” said Ulrike Marsky, Veto-pharma Technical Manager. “Oxybee is a treatment based on oxalic acid, glycerol and aniseed and eucalyptus essential oils, and can now be purchased from the authorized beekeeping suppliers in Germany.”
