Thymovar against varroa
When you order Thymovar, you naturally want to know how to use it in a beehive. Thymovar comes with clear Dutch instructions from Andermatt Biovet for use in a beehive. Below, we will outline how a Thymovar treatment works when you want to use it in a beehive.
Treating a bee colony with Thymovar
The treatment with Thymovar strips is fairly simple. For best results, all bee colonies should be treated twice. For the first treatment, you can place 1 strip on the frames of the upper brood box for 3 to 4 weeks. Are you using a Dadant hive? In that case, because this hive is quite large, you can use 1.5 strips per brood box. The second treatment proceeds in exactly the same way. During treatment, thymol vapor is released from the strips. The varroa mite cannot tolerate this and dies.
When do you use Thymovar?
The treatment period with Thymovar begins immediately after the last honey harvest, at the end of summer, around July/August. The total treatment period (based on 2 treatments) is approximately 8 weeks.
Why Thymovar?
Thymovar can be an effective and especially easy treatment method for controlling varroa. The advantage of Thymovar lies mainly in its ease of use. No vaporizers are involved, which might put you at risk of coming into contact with harmful substances. You only need to place the strips in your beehive, making Thymovar very simple to use. Additionally, it is organic and therefore excellent for the environmentally conscious beekeeper.
How do you store remaining Thymovar strips if you don't need all strips at once?
If you have some Thymovar strips left after treating your colony(ies), it's best to seal the packaging with the remaining strips 'airtight', using tape/adhesive tape. This way, the effectiveness remains for a considerable time, and you can use the remaining strips a few weeks later for a second treatment. Possibly, if sealed very well, the strip may even be usable the following season.
How do you package the remaining strip 'airtight'? Cut the top of the packaging. Remove the number of strips you need. Slide the remaining strips back horizontally into the bag immediately. Seal the exit 'airtight' with adhesive tape. Then roll the end three times and seal it again. The packaging is now almost airtight.
