Description
A slow-release thymol gel. A natural treatment with efficacy rates ranged from 85% to 95% and an overall average of 93% even after thousands of treatments. It encourages the hygienic behavior of the honeybee, preventing a number of related problems.
Designed to control Varroa mite populations, Apiguard treatment is effective against Varroa mites, tracheal mites, and chalkbrood. The slow release of the active ingredient ensures consistent protection for your worker bees. For best results, apply Apiguard gel when temperatures are suitable for optimal distribution throughout the hive.
Application
- Make sure all entrances are fully open for sufficient airflow.
- Place the Apiguard tray at the top of the frames, centered over your honeybee colony.
- If the tray is close to empty, replace it after ten days. This ensures a consistent dose of the thymol gel in the hive.
- Leave the second tray in place for up to four weeks to complete the treatment for Varroa.
