HOW TO TREAT VARROA USING APIGUARD

SECOND APPLICATION OF APIGUARD VARROA TREATMENT

What is Apiguard?
Apiguard-25g-sachet Apiguard is a sophisticated, patented slow release gel that ensures correct dosage of its active ingredient, thymol. Thymol is a naturally occurring substance derived from the plant thyme.

Apiguard gel comes in 50g ready-to-use aluminium trays (two will treat one standard colony). In certain markets, Apiguard is also available in 3kg tubs and 25g sachets.

The handy 25g sachet for nucleii, very small colonies and use in hot climates is available in some countries.

The 3kg tub, suitable for bee farmers and those with many colonies, comes with dosage tools to ensure correct and easy dosing and is available in some countries.

Apiguard has no harmful effect on the honeybee colony: neither on brood nor on adults. In regulatory terms, the EC maximum residue limit of Apiguard has been classified as “No MRL necessary” because of its low toxicity and hive residue profile

Why do you leave if empty first treatment?

[BadMedicineIRL]

Should you put your bottom board in when using this?

You need to use this directly over the Brood itself ! Use a Shim (or Spare Box) to give the Treatment another room to Vapour about the Hive.
Looks like you have not enough Bees in that Top Box for it to work correctly (?)
I would have added it below that upper box. 👀
Just saying... 🐝

Can you use it with the honey supers on top of the brood box or do I have to remove the honey supers while I treat my bees?
Thank you.
