Sulfur wicks / sulfur sticks for use with bees

Sulfur wicks / sulfur sticks are used for sulfurizing a very irritable hive. This allows you to quickly clear the hive. This can be a solution if the hive is really out of control. Other solutions instead of desulfurization are to let the bees fly off or offer them for use in greenhouses.

Another reason for desulfurizing a hive may be that there is an infectious and incurable disease in the hive. As a beekeeper, you do not want the colony to infect another colony. By means of desulfurization, the sick colony is quickly put out of its misery.

Description for sulfurizing a bee colony:
1. When using a beehive: The beekeeper places the hive on a hole in the ground where the sulfur is burned. In doing so, make sure that the flight opening is closed.
2. When using a hive: The beekeeper places an empty hive section on top of the hive containing the sulfur to be burned in an empty canning jar or the like. Make sure the flight openings are tightly sealed. Within a few minutes the hive will be done.

Price per sulfur stick/sulfur wick (1 piece). After lighting, the sulfur sticks burn up by themselves.

(Please note use these products only with proper knowledge, the fumes are toxic to humans and other animals as well!)
