DIRECTIONS FOR USEIt is a violation of Federal law to use this productin a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Do not apply this product in a way that willcontact workers or other persons, eitherdirectly or through drift. Only protectedhandlers may be in the area duringapplication. For any requirement specific toyour State or Tribe, consult the State/Tribalagency responsible for pesticide regulation.

READ ENTIRE LABEL, USE STRICTLY INACCORDANCE WITH PRECAUTIONARYSTATEMENTS AND DIRECTIONS, ANDWITH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERALREGULATIONS.

GENERAL INFORMATIONFailure to follow directions and precautions onthis label may result in poor mite control,and/or illegal residues.

APIGUARD is a product specifically designed foruse in beehives. The unique slow release gelmatrix formulation and easy-to-use dosing syringeensures correct dosage of the active ingredientthymol. APIGUARD gel regulates the liberation ofthymol within the honeybee colony. APIGUARD hasno harmful effect on the honeybee colony, neitheron brood nor on adults, when used according todirections.

For best results:• Do not use the product when the maximum

daily temperature is lower than 60°F or whenthe colony activity is very low.

• Do not use the product when the maximum

daily temperature is above 105°F.• Combine weak colonies before treatment.• Make sure the worker bees can access the

tray.

Restrictions:• Do not treat during honey flow.• Leave the product in the colony until the trays

are empty. In any case remove the productwhen installing the supers on the colony.

• Remove surplus honey supers before applyingtreatment.

• Do not enter or allow personnel entry intotreated areas during the restricted-entryinterval (REI) of 48 hours.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES:The efficacy of APIGUARD is maximized if theproduct is used in late summer after the honeyharvest (when the amount of brood present isdiminishing). However, in the case of severeinfestations, APIGUARD can also be used duringspringtime, when temperatures are above 60°F.Efficacy will vary between colonies due to thenature of the application. Therefore, APIGUARDshould be used as one treatment among otherswithin an Integrated Pest Management program,and mite fall regularly monitored. If furthersignificant mite fall is observed during thefollowing winter or spring, use an additionalsecondary winter or spring treatment for varroa.

METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION:Open the hive. Place a piece of wax sheet,cardboard or plastic sheet (approximately 4" x 4"),or the provided dosing tray, centrally on top of thebrood frames. Stir [product] well before each use.Remove the dosing syringe from its sealedpackaging. Insert the syringe nozzle fully into the gel,ensuring no air is drawn into the syringe. Slowly pullthe plunger back on the syringe to draw up 51ml(equivalent to 1.76 oz/50g) of Apiguard gel. Removethe syringe from the gel. Gently push the plungerdownwards to release the gel within the syringeonto the dosing tray. Flatten out the gel with a hivetool, if necessary. Ensure that there is a free space ofat least 1/4 inch between the top of the tray and thehive cover board, for example, by placing an emptysuper on top of the brood box. Close the hive. After two weeks apply the second dose of 51ml(equivalent to 1.76 oz/50g) Apiguard gel followingthe same procedure. Leave the product in the colonyfor a further 2 to 4 weeks until it totally disappearsfrom the tray or until supers are installed, whicheveris sooner. Total treatment period should be aminimum of 4 weeks and a maximum of 6 weeks. At temperatures above 77°F, a lower dosage of 25-26 ml (approximately 0.88 oz/25g) Apiguard gelcan be used effectively. At these highertemperatures, only one application of 25-26ml(approximately 0.88 oz/25g) should be applied atany one time. Repeat dose applications may beapplied at intervals of 1-2 weeks, as needed for upto 4 applications of 25-26ml (approximately 0.88oz/25g) where mite infestations persist.

METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION:

Open the hive. Peel back the foil lid of the APIGUARD tray leaving onecorner of the lid attached to the tray. Place the open tray centrally on topof the brood frames, gel side up. Ensure that there is a free space of atleast ¼ inch between the top of the tray and the hive cover board, forexample, by placing an empty super on top of the brood box. Close thehive. After two weeks replace the first tray with a new one, according tothe same instructions. Leave the product in the colony until the tray isempty. Remove the product when installing the supers on the colony.

Overdose:

The use of a dose higher than 1.76oz (50g) of Apiguard gel perapplication, corresponding to 0.44oz (12.5g) thymol, could causedisturbances in the behavior of the colony (agitation, absconding orincreased mortality). In case of overdose, remove the excess product fromthe colony.

Withdrawal Period: • Surplus honey supers can be installed immediately after the end oftreatment and removal of the APIGUARD product.

• Honey may be harvested immediately upon accumulation of sufficientsurplus in the supers.


For best results:

• Do not use the product when the maximum daily temperature is lowerthan 60°F or when the colony activity is very low.

• Do not use the product when the maximum daily temperature is above105°F.

• Combine weak colonies before treatment.• Make sure the worker bees can access the tray.

Restrictions:

• Do not treat during honey flow.• Leave the product in the colony until the trays are empty. In any caseremove the product when installing the supers on the colony.

• Remove surplus honey supers before applying treatment.• Do not enter or allow personnel entry into treated areas during therestricted-entry interval (REI) of 48 hours.

Efficacy will varybetween colonies due to the nature of the application. Therefore, APIGUARDshould be used as one treatment among others within an Integrated PestManagement program, and mite fall regularly monitored. If further significantmite fall is observed during the following winter or spring, use an additionalsecondary winter or spring treatment for varroa.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Failure to follow directions and precautions on this label may result in poor mite

control, and/or illegal residues.

APIGUARD is a product specifically designed for use in beehives. The unique slowrelease gel matrix formulation and easy-to-use tray ensures correct dosage of the activeingredient thymol. APIGUARD gel regulates the liberation of thymol within the honeybeecolony. APIGUARD has no harmful effect on the honeybee colony, neither on brood noron adults, when used according to directions.

For best results:

• Do not use the product when the maximum daily temperature is lower than 60°F orwhen the colony activity is very low.

• Do not use the product when the maximum daily temperature is above 105°F.• Combine weak colonies before treatment.• Make sure the worker bees can access the tray.

Restrictions:

• Do not treat during honey flow.• Leave the product in the colony until the trays are empty. In any case remove theproduct when installing the supers on the colony.

• Remove surplus honey supers before applying treatment.• Do not enter or allow personnel to enter into treated areas during the restricted-entryinterval (REI) of 48 hours.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

APPLICATION PROCEDURES:The efficacy of APIGUARD is maximized if the product is used in late summer after the honeyharvest (when the amount of brood present is diminishing). However, in the case of severeinfestations, APIGUARD can also be used during springtime, when temperatures are above60°F. Efficacy will vary between colonies due to the nature of the application. Therefore,APIGUARD should be used as one treatment among others within an Integrated PestManagement program, and mite fall regularly monitored. If further significant mite fall isobserved during the following winter or spring, use an additional secondary winter or springtreatment for varroa. At temperatures above 77°F, a treatment using 2 x 0.88 oz (25g) or 3 x0.88 oz (25g) Apiguard can be used effectively. A fourth dose of 0.88 oz (25g) gel can beapplied at these temperatures, where mite infestations persist.

METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION:Open the hive. Place the dosing tray provided (approximately 4" x 4") centrally on top of thebrood frames. Tear open the Apiguard sachet at the tear notch and squeeze out the sachetcontents onto the dosing tray or surface. Ensure that there is a free space of at least ¼ inchbetween the top of the tray and the hive cover board, for example, by placing an empty superon top of the brood box. Close the hive. After one week replace with a second dose of 0.88 oz(25 g) Apiguard gel. One week after the second dose, apply a third dose of 0.88 oz (25 g)Apiguard, following the same procedure. Where mite infestations are high, a fourth dose of 0.88oz (25 g) Apiguard can be introduced one to two weeks later. Leave the product in the colonyfor a further 2 to 4 weeks until it totally disappears from the tray or until supers are installed,whichever is sooner. Total treatment period should be a minimum of 4 weeks and a maximumof 6 weeks. Small and wintering bee colonies and nuclei require one dose of 0.88 oz (25 g) gelonly, left in place until the product disappears from the tray. At temperatures above 77°F, smallor weak colonies can be treated with 0.44 oz (12.5 g) Apiguard (half a sachet) only.

Overdose:The use of a dose higher than 1.76 oz. (50 g) of Apiguard gel per application, correspondingto 0.44 oz (12.5 g) thymol, could cause disturbances in the behavior of the colony (agitation,absconding or increased mortality). At temperatures above 77°F, the dose can be reduced to1 x 0.88 oz (25 g) (one sachet) per application. In case of overdose, remove the excessproduct from the colony.

Withdrawal Period:

• Surplus honey supers can be installed immediately after the end of treatment andremoval of the APIGUARD product.

• Honey may be harvested immediately upon accumulation of sufficient surplus in thesupers.
