Hi Peter, Hi All,
Last summer I had the chance to use Apiguard. I wanted to test if my bees
become resistant to our drug used to fight against Varroa Distructor.
The Apiguard is a slow release gel  and the active ingredient  is  thymol.
The drug extremely easy to use placing the opened tray with gel face upwards
in the top of brood frames. The bees will do the distribution within the bee
colony is assured by vapour release and also by the bees social behavior
(feeding exchange and cleaning activities). The efficacy against three types
of hive pest makes this drug a very good product (Varroa, tracheal mite and
chalkbrood.). My observation. I think that the bees with high Hyg test will
clean faster the Apiguard.. So when you treat with Apiguard you see if your
bees have high Hyg behaviour.
The efficacy to 10 colonies treated with Apiguard was about  93-95%.
