Treat new Nucleus with Varromed?

I have the Swiss-designed Varrox unit, and it is excellent. Expensive, but durable, reliable and nicely made. You can buy one here:

You then need a power supply, and I use a lightweight jump starter, as one of my hives is a long way from civilization. :wink: Any 12V jump starter designed for SUVs, trucks etc, should be more than good enough. Mine will do about 5 hives before needing a recharge.

For the Oxalic Acid, I just use commercial wood bleach. In the US, this is 99% pure oxalic acid crystals, which is more than good enough. In the UK, B&Q or Homebase should have something equivalent. :blush:
