Dukes Topic Author Offline New Member Posts: 6 Thank you received: 1	Hi. Can anyone please point me in the direction of any articles or papers on the use of ClO2 with regards to honey bee and hive health? I'm sure I've seen something in the past but am not having any luck finding anything today. Thanks.

tokary Offline Junior Member Posts: 20 Thank you received: 2	Maybe this paper (www.hilarispublisher.com/open-access/determination-of-the-survival-of-bees-with-deformed-wing-virus-and-nosemosis-using-a-new-oxalate-based-compound-p20-in-20-hives-lo-100573.html) gives you some hint. I am not an apicurist or apiculturist, fyi.

Coin Gracie Offline New Member Posts: 3 Thank you received: 2	Some people just use an aqueous spray. 100 ppm-200 ppm which is sanitizer strength. .01%-.02% Another method is to place a UV light and just let a 5% NaClO2 solution gas off over time. Many of the papers are in another language. USA not so much. Here's a decent paper.patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/b4/81/f9/d042a6606cd7f4/US6096350.pdf They use gel or spray.

Coin Gracie Offline New Member Posts: 3 Thank you received: 2	Some people use spray at 100 to 200 ppm in hives (.02%v - .03%) You can also use gel or use UVlight with NaClO2 at 5% for slow release of gas.
