Bee Health & Treatments

Organic Bee Health, Pest Management & Nutritional Supplements

Healthy, populous colonies are the best defense against tropical hive pests and seasonal floral dearth. Our Bee Health & Treatments collection focuses on honey-safe organic thymol/essential oil treatments, physical pest traps, and balanced pollen/vitamin supplements that never leave synthetic chemical residues in your wax or honey.

Protect Your Hives Against Varroa, Beetles & Dearth

• Organic Thymol & Essential Oil Varroa Strips (ApiLife Var): Certified organic thymol, eucalyptus, menthol, and camphor wafers that control varroa mites effectively without contaminating honey or brood comb.

• In-Hive Small Hive Beetle Traps & Entrance Guards: Oil-trough beetle blaster traps that sit neatly between top bars to trap and drown adult small hive beetles before they can lay eggs in pollen stores.

• Pollen Substitute Patties & Amino-Vitamin Feed Boosters: Stimulate early brood rearing ahead of the major nectar flow and sustain colonies through prolonged rainy or harmattan dearth periods.

Important: Remove all mite treatment strips at least 2 to 4 weeks prior to placing honey supers on the hive for human consumption, and always follow integrated pest management (IPM) monitoring counts.

Q: How do I control Small Hive Beetles (Aethina tumida) in Nigerian apiaries?
A: Keep colonies strong and compact (never give a small colony too many empty boxes to patrol), situate hives in dappled sun on dry ground, use reduced entrances, and place oil-filled beetle traps between the outer frames of the brood box.
