Thymovar

[oldsalthouse]

Have been using thymovar for 2 weeks now on all the hives and feeding the hives at the same time. The first few days the bees were not happy, but after an inspection yesterday all queens are still laying and the mite drop is working well. First time I have used it and very happy with it.

That's interesting.
I have my bees on their second week of some Apilife I had left over from last year. Next week I hope to have a quick look at stores and brood and put on some Thymovar so that I don't have to open up again.

Bumping an ancient thread because there's not a lot about this product on here and one of the top bee farms in the South (who sold me a nuc with v few mites) is using Thymovar this year, they tell me.

Why are you inspecting? For what purpose? Let them get on with it!

enrico: sorry for confusion I bumped a year-old thread. But I assume the answer was that the OP was anxious about the effect on the bees. It seems to be OK in that case, is my point.

Oh yes! Silly me! Just ignore me .....again! Thanks for explaining!
