Two trays will treat one standard colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the opened tray face upwards in the top of brood frames, preferably centered over the colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApiguard 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApiguard not only controlsvarroa mite populations in honeybee colonies. Apiguard also helps to control tracheal mites\/ Acarine and chalkbrood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce in place, vapour from the Apiguard gel is given off. Unlike some other formulations and raw crystals, the release from the gel works steadily and does not disturb the bees unduly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorker bees climb into the Apiguard tray, remove the gel as a hive-cleaning behaviour and distribute it throughout the colony. The gel sticks to the bees’ body hairs and, as the bees move through the hive, particles are left throughout the hive. The worker eventually throws out the gel it is carrying, but the traces remain until they too are removed later.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EcoGrovia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48589495435518,"sku":"B07CCMY8X4","price":67.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/8520\/4734\/files\/71p97YBqnAL._SX522.jpg?v=1784100721","url":"https:\/\/ecogrovia1.com\/products\/apiguard-natural-varroa-mite-treatment-for-honey-bee-hives-10-x-50g-thymol-gel-trays-easy-application-beekeeper-trusted-bee-friendly-plant-based-protection","provider":"EcoGrovia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
