Apiguard is an effective treatment against three common hive pests: Varroa mites, tracheal mites (Acarine), and chalkbrood. This natural treatment uses a slow-release thymol gel with an efficacy rate ranging from 85% to 95%, averaging 93% after thousands of treatments. It helps encourage the hygienic behavior of honey bees, preventing various related issues.

Key Features:

• Natural, effective treatment for Varroa mites, tracheal mites, and chalkbrood.
• Efficacy rate of 85% to 95%, with an average of 93%.
• Ease of use: Two 50-gram treatment trays per hive, with an interval of 14 days.

How to Use Apiguard:

1. Place one treatment tray centrally on top of the brood frames, gel side up. Ensure at least 1/4 inch of spacing between the top of the tray and the hive cover by using HDO 1 1/4" spacer/shims or empty supers.
2. After 14 days, apply the second dose.
3. During treatment, keep screened bottom boards closed.
