3.Beekeepers use formic acid as a miticide against the Tracheal (Acarapis woodi) mite and the Varroa mite.
4.Some formate esters are artificial flavorings or perfumes.
5.It is used in laboratories as a solvent modifier for HPLC separations of proteins and peptides, especially when the sample is being prepared for mass spectrometry analysis.
6.In 2006 researchers of EPFL, Switzerland, reported the use of formic acid as a hydrogen storage material.
7.Formic acid is often used as a source of hydride ion in synthetic organic chemistry.
