Beequip run their own beehives for research and development and all the staff at Beequip have beekeeping experience. Oxalic acid solutions have been extensively researched and tested to maximise the results. The current economic challenges require most beekeepers to look at reducing costs wherever possible. The cardboard strips are extremely environmentally friendly when it comes time for disposal, as compared to the millions of plastic strips that are used in the industry, and end up in land fill.
