We studied the toxicity of water solutions contain ing various concentrations of oxalic acid dihydrate to bees and Varroa mites ( Varroa destructor ) using by spraying honey bee (Apis mellifera ) colonies with no brood or little brood in beehive conditions in West-Viru County, Estonia. A water solution of 0.5% OA gave effective control of the mite and was not toxic to bees whereas higher concentrations of OA ( 1.0 and 1.5%) were highly toxic to bees. In autumn, spraying test colonies that had little capp ed brood once or twice with a 0.5% OA solution gave effective mite control (92.94 ± 0.01% and 91.84 ± 0.02%, respectively) with no noticeable toxicity to bees.
