One of our bee team placing the Apiguard trays on the hives to treat the bees for Varroa mites. The treatment will stay on for 6 weeks in total, ensuring our bees are in the best of health before winter sets in. The treatment is based on Thymol, a natural substance, and so very gentle and safe for the bees. As part of their normal 'hive cleaning behaviour' the bees walk through the Apiguard crystals, removing them from the hive... as they do so the crystals are spread throughout the hive killing the Varroa mites.
