Featuring a controlled-release formula, it delivers consistent vapor over 6 weeks, ensuring effective mite control without stressing bees. Easy to apply with no mixing required, Apiguard fits flexible treatment schedules and supports healthier, more resilient hives. ## Description Product description Ten 50g Trays Per Box Apiguard gel comes in a box pf 10 50g ready-to-use aluminium trays. Two trays will treat one standard colony. Easy to Use Place the opened tray face upwards in the top of brood frames, preferably centered over the colony. Patented Slow Release Formula Apiguard is a sophisticated, patented slow release gel that ensures correct dosage of its active ingredient, thymol. Thymol is a naturally occurring substance derived from the plant thyme. Controls More Than Varroa Mites Apiguard not only controlsvarroa mite populations in honeybee colonies. Apiguard also helps to control tracheal mites/ Acarine and chalkbrood. How Apiguard Works Once in place, vapour from the Apiguard gel is given off. Unlike some other formulations and raw crystals, the release from the gel works steadily and does not disturb the bees unduly. Worker bees climb into the Apiguard tray, remove the gel as a hive-cleaning behaviour and distribute it throughout the colony. The gel sticks to the bees’ body hairs and, as the bees move through the hive, particles are left throughout the hive. The worker eventually throws out the gel it is carrying, but the traces remain until they too are removed later. ## Features - FOR A THRIVING BEES: Stop the stress and kick out varroa that can harm your hives.

Don't know where you are or at what point in the cycle your bees are at, but this stuff 'oxidizes' after a few weeks, so if you're concerned about how your honey will be, you're likely months away from a harvest; if so, go for it... (caveat: ask this question directed to 10 beekeepers and you'll get 12 different answers...) **Q: What is expiration of the product you're shipping now in the USA?** A: As of 8.25.2023, Expiration dates will be around 11.2024 **Q: What are the active ingredients? Is there some reason why we can’t read the package label??** A: The box says this: The active ingredient is Thymol (CAS #89-83-8).....25% Other Ingredients...........................................................75% Total.................................................................................100% I don't know why they don't allow enlarging this picture so the ingredients could be read. **Q: Is it safe to put underneath sorry not styrofoam but a polystyrene top feeder?** A: I don't know if there will be any reaction with the feeder, but you shouldn't feed while treating. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***O on February 23, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***2 on February 22, 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***T on December 30, 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - Vita Bee Health Apiguard – Natural Varroa Mite Treatment for Honey Bee Hives – 10 x 50g Thymol Gel Trays – Easy Application, Beekeeper-Trusted, Bee-Friendly, Plant-Based Protection - Foxhound Bee Company Varroa Easy Check Mite Tester - The #1 Mite Checker Among Beekeepers for Accurately Testing Mite Counts - Apivar Strips Varroa Mite Treatment for Honey Bees with Easy Rip Strips - 97-99% Effective Againts Mites(4 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/74154231-apiguard-natural-varroa-mite-treatment-for-honey-bee-hives-10](https://www.desertcart.us/products/74154231-apiguard-natural-varroa-mite-treatment-for-honey-bee-hives-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
