The controlled 42‑day release period allows ongoing exposure of mites to oxalic acid during the treatment window, supporting mite knockdown while colonies continue normal activity. Supplied in a 2280 g carton of 60 strips, the product is ready to use and clearly set up for all beekeeping operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"fits-into-real-world-hive-management\"\u003eFits into real-world hive management\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eAluen CAP is applied only when monitoring shows treatment is needed, so it fits neatly into existing Integrated Pest Management programs and surveillance routines. Colonies can be treated at the beginning of the season as they build up and are ready for supers, or at the end of the season as they prepare for winter while brood is still present. Because all colonies in the apiary are treated at the same time, the product is well suited to systematic yard-wide varroa management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"simple-in-hive-application\"\u003eSimple in-hive application\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eApplication is straightforward: for 8–10 frame hives, four strips are placed across the top bars of frames 2, 4, 6 and 8; for 5–6 frame nucleus hives, two strips are placed over frames 2 and 4. Strips remain in the hive for 42 days and are then removed and discarded; they are single‑use and must not be reused. The product is limited to one treatment per year and must not be used over two consecutive treatment periods, giving beekeepers clear boundaries for responsible use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"safety-and-stewardship\"\u003eSafety and stewardship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eAluen CAP is for animal treatment only and is classified as a poison, so it must be kept out of reach of children and handled with appropriate care. When applying or handling strips, users must wear buttoned cotton overalls (or equivalent clothing), gauntlet‑length chemical‑resistant gloves and goggles, and work in a well‑ventilated area. Storage and disposal are straightforward: keep the original closed container below 30 °C, protect it from light, discard unused strips 24 hours after opening, and dispose of packaging and any unused product in line with local regulations without burning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Beeman Honey","offers":[{"title":"108 Packs 1620 Treatments (Cost per treatment $7) 1\/4 Pallet","offer_id":51093622358322,"sku":null,"price":11340.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/7551\/6722\/files\/Quarter_Pallet.jpg?v=1777087925","url":"https:\/\/beemanhoney.com.au\/products\/aluen-cap-oxalic-acid-strips-single-pack-treats-15-hives-copy-1","provider":"Beeman Honey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
