Varroa Mite Treatment Organic

Natural sources are the origins of thymol. It provides a nearly natural way to treat varroa mites. This organic treatment is effective at controlling varroa mites and other pests. Apithymo provides safe and sound varroa control compared to chemical treatments.

Effective in Tracheal Mites Treatment and Helps Chalkbrood Treatment

Apithymo gel can help treat other beekeeping pests and diseases, such as tracheal mites and chalkbrood. Thymol primarily kills tracheal mites by entering the respiratory system of bees through its vapors. Since thymol inhibits fungi related to bees, APITHYMO can help treat chalkbrood.

【Generic Name】Thymol Gel

【Proprietary Name】APITHYMO

【Active Ingredient】Thymol

【Description】It is a white gel with a special odor.

【Pharmacological Action】

APITHYMO, a slow-release gel containing thymol, has a unique mechanism. Thymol is a part of thyme oil. It is a natural compound called a monoterpenoid phenol. Thymol comes from p-Cymene and is similar to carvacrol. The gel functions like a sponge, adjusting mesh size based on temperature fluctuations. When the temperature rises, thymol volatility increases, but the mesh of the gel decreases. This way, thymol release is regulated.

APITHYMO has two complementary modes of action. Thymol vapor spreads through the colony. The bees help by fanning their wings. This allows the vapor to reach the varroa mites through inhalation. Secondly, worker bees carry and spread the gel within the colony during physical communication. APITHYMO effectively eliminates varroa mites by contact.

【Drug Interactions】Do not use APITHYMO in conjunction with other medications to avoid potential ineffectiveness.

【Action and Purpose】Used for preventing and treating Varroa mites, Tracheal mites/Acarine, and chalkbrood.

【Dosage and Administration】

3. Do not use at temperatures below 15°C. If the temperature is above 30°C, halve the dosage. Also, reduce the replacement time based on the remaining gel in the brood box.
