A BREAKTHROUGH INVENTION THAT WILL AFFECT THE HONEY PRODUCTION AND THE
IMMEDIATE AND LONG TERM HEALTH OF THE BEES...
 
Johann Popodi is a passionate beekeeper who recognized the VARROA problem
very early.  He was not happy with available means of treating the mites
(using strips), due to the toxic nature of the chemicals and the side
effects that it had on both the bees and the honey.  Consequently, Mr.
Popodi continued to devote his time and attention to research using formic
acid, which is a naturally occurring substance and has long been known to
many beekeepers for its beneficial characteristics.  The great advantage of
formic acid is that there are no poisonous or harmful affects on the honey
bee.  In addition, it does not produce sediments in the honey, leaving the
liquid natural.
 
VARROA TREATMENT DEVICE or "VTD".
 
It is simple and safe to use and operates efficiently measuring out accurate
and precise dosag of medication.  The VTD(TM)assures a continuous and
prolonged treatment at a very modest price.  A very high level of success is
assured through the whole treatment cycle, particularly during the time when
the brood is covered.  Due to the evaporation of the formic acid (which does
not affect the bees) the mites (black) are destroyed.  The most important
advantage of this method is that the vapor can penetrate into the honey comb
of the young bees and the young Varroa mites (white) are killed at an early
stage.  Placing a mite grill on the bottom of the hive for continuous
observation would be advisable.  The VTD(TM) has also had positive success
in the treatment of the tracheal mite and lime brood.
 
POSITIVE ASPECTS:
 
simple and easy to use - safe - guaranteed to work - tested internationally
- non-toxic - no dangerous side effects - naturally derived material -
inexpensive.
