Honey = Money! The most serious threat to hive vitality is Varroa destructor. Varroa mite numbers track brood growth UNLESS you intervene. Use Apistan now to hammer adult female mites and build clean bee numbers before your peak honey flow. Follow all label and safety instructions. Then after the honey is taken off use Apiguard to knock back any varroa carried through and go into next winter with very few mites. Rotation with these products is a good varroa management plan. Apistan used in rotation with the thymol based Apiguard almost guarantees you will not develop mite resistance in your hives
The Vita Europe American Foulbrood (AFB) Diagnostic Test Kit is an effective, efficient, in-the-field tool to confirm the presence of the disease. Just like a pregnancy test kit, one line in the window tells you the test is working. Two lines means you have AFB. Inform AsureQuality, get a fire permit and burn the hive to stop the disease from spreading. A single use kit only.
AFB Diagnostic Test Kit
AFB can be eliminated from NZ if it is identified and those infected hives are burnt. But you don’t want to burn false positives. Keep an AFB test kit handy every time you visit your apiaries. Save time and hassles.
