How to use:

Thymovar should be used after honey harvest.   

1. Remove honey frames for harvest.
2. Provide bees with enough food for the treatment duration of 4 weeks.
3. Remove Thymovar strips from packaging, they can be broken in half for easier placement.
4. Position strips within 4-10cm of the brood cells. Ensure there is 1-2 cm above the strips to allow for good evaporation. The number of strips to be applied will depend on the size of hive (see product label).
5. Remove the strips after 3-4 weeks. Pause for 1 week to allow replenishing of food then start the second treatment.

Note: If temperatures are expected to be more than 30°C start with a lower dose and then complete the dose after 3-7 days.

Thymovar works with a delayed action, increased fall of Varroa will only be observed after 2 days of being placed in the hive.
