    Default Regulations

    Hi - noted this statement on Beebase.

    Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013

    The Veterinary Medicines Regulations sets out legal text on the manufacture, authorisation, marketing, distribution and post-authorisation surveillance of veterinary medicines. Honey bees are classed as a food producing animal and therefore beekeepers must comply with these regulations. Generic substances such as Oxalic acid or self-made thymol solutions should not be used and beekeepers are liable for prosecution if traces are found during routine honey sampling. It is important to note that some products available on beekeeping manufacturers’ websites are not registered medicinal products and although available, should not be administered to a colony.

    Does anyone know if this legislation is current? And, are we really being advised not to use OA or thymol solutions? And why are we allowed to purchase them from a beekeeping manufacturers’ website if we are not supposed to use them?
