Treating for Varroa Mites using HopGuard3 | All-Natural Varroa Mite Treatment

The greatest threat to honey bees around the world is a tiny villain, barely visible to the naked eye. Fittingly named, Varroa Destructor, they are commonly known as varroa mites is the biggest challenge faced by honey bees in the world. Good apiary management includes a mite management plan.
Here at Kowalski Apiary, we treat our honeybees for mites three times a year. We rotate treatment methods so the bees don't become resistant to treatment. This year we are using HopGuard3. This all-natural product is food safe and can be used while the honey supers are in place.
