New Apiguard sachets for varroa control
4 July 2011
New Apiguard varroa control sachets coming soon
Vita (Europe) Ltd has produced Apiguard, the varroa treatment, in new handy 25g sachets suitable for use with nucleii and very small colonies. Regulatory approval has already been granted in the USA and approvals in EU countries are expected to follow soon.
The new sachets come with small cards - the gel is simply squeezed onto the cards which can then be inserted above the brood frames.
