For use with a fogger. The droplets are 15 microns, big enough not to harm the bees, but the oil coats the spiracles of the Varroa, and they die by suffocation.

Bayvarol

HVTBA
HVTBA

Bayvarol is a synthetic pyrethroid strip treatment.

• Do not under dose - use four strips per brood box to ensure effective knock down.
• Place strips in the correct position in the brood box i.e. next to brood frames.
• Do not leave in for too long - treat for 6 to 8 weeks.
• Remove strips immediately at 8 weeks - delaying removal helps Varroa mites to develop resistance through exposure to sub lethal doses.
• Packed 20 strips per box in foil pouches, 

Unfortunately, mis-use of pyrethroids has accelerated natural biological processes which means that in some areas resistant mites have developed.

Registered bee medication in over 40 countries worldwide.
• Eliminates up to 100% of all mites in a hive.
• Strips can be used in a hive for up to 8 weeks.
• Will not give sub-lethal dose during 8 week period - controlled release combined with therapeutic dosage, used correctly will not promote resistance in mites.
• Apistan is that effective that it can resurrect hives that are collapsing from parasitic mite syndrome.
• Economic to use, only two strips per brood box required.
• Long shelf life.
• Apistan is not affected by removal from its packaging and can be repacked for use if necessary.
• Packed 10 strips per sealed foil pouch, 10 pouches per carton. Price per pouch.

Unfortunately, mis-use of pyrethroids has accelerated natural biological processes which means that in some areas resistant mites have developed. Resistance to Synthetic Pyrethroids has been scientifically confirmed in a yard of beehives in Northland.

This may not be an isolated instance. Please ALTERNATE your treatments!

We recommend Apivar or Apiguard in the Spring and Apistan or Bayvarol in the Autumn.

Since the 1980's Apistan has been the benchmark treatment.

Apiguard Please note 3kg tubs out of stock.

HVTAG
HVTAG

Apiguard is thymol in a slow-release gel used to control varroa mites in honeybee colonies.

Thymol is derived from thyme oil and is an approved organic treatment.
Apiguard works both as a fumigant and by contact, 2 trays per treatment as per box instructions.

To ensure optimal efficacy we recommend placing a spacer on top of the brood box where the trays are placed. This creates more space to enable the bees to contact the gel.

Sold as individual 50g trays, in boxes of 10 x 50g trays , and in multiples of 10 trays.

OR

3kg tubs - comes with a measuring scoop and cardboard squares to place treatment on.
(Enough gel for 30 treatments @ 2x50g treatments).
