Beekeeping Tools for Beehive Pest Control

APIBUZZ supplies beekeeping tools for beehive pest control. We have carefully picked a set of must-have tools for handling Varroa mite problems with impressive precision. Beekeepers can use these tools to monitor bee mite infestation rates periodically or apply medicines.

Time to Check Your Varroa Mite Infestations

When natural flowers bloom, diligent honey bees set about their work of gathering nectar. Before the honey flow begins, keep your varroa mite infestation rate at least below 2%. 

Commonly Used Varroa Mite Test Kits for Beekeepers

Going with an alcohol wash method, specifically with a Varroa easy check, obtains the most precise mite counts. Lots of hands-on experience from bee farms has already proven this.

No sample bees will go to waste while measuring mite infestation rates with a CO2 Varroa tester. You take the anesthetized bees back into the hive after finishing the test. After some time, they will wake up, which blows your mind.

Some Essential Beekeeping Stuff Used to Apply Varroa Miticide

Gather the necessary beekeeping stuff to help provide miticide into a beehive. 
Beekeepers typically use 85% formic acid for hive pest treatment with an FAM dispenser. We can adjust the evaporation surface area to reach an expected formic acid evaporation rate.

Amitraz is a contact acaricide. We use Varrojet, whose amitraz fog ensures complete contact with mites and kills them. Compared to Varoxpert strips, it's a faster method of creating amitraz smoke to contact them.

Beekeepers have been using oxalic acid foggers since at least the mid-1990s. They did master this technique of vaporizing oxalic acid for bees back then. APIBUZZ sells passive style oxalic bee vaporizers. Fanless designs are safer for people’s health than proactive vaporizers.
