Lactic Acid

Lactic acid is an organic acid approved for varroa treatment, applied by spraying directly onto bees in brood-free colonies or artificial swarms. It is well-tolerated by bees and leaves no residues in honey or wax. Due to its limitation to brood-free application, it is primarily used for treating artificial swarms and late-season splits.
