Varromed - Bee Varroa destructor - 555 ml bottle - BEEVITAL

A versatile biological solution against the Varroa mite

Why choose Varromed for your beekeeping?

The fight against the Varroa destructor parasite is the absolute priority in modern beekeeping. This scourge weakens colonies and carries deadly viruses. Varromed offers an effective and environmentally friendly response. This innovative product from BeeVital changes the game for beekeepers. It comes in the form of a ready-to-use liquid suspension. You no longer need to make risky or complex mixtures.

This treatment stands out for its unique composition. It combines two powerful natural molecules: formic acid and oxalic acid dihydrate. This synergy attacks the nervous system of the mites present in the hive. The effectiveness of Varromed is scientifically recognized. It drastically reduces parasitic pressure on your bees. By using this product, you promote strong and productive colonies for the coming season.

Unique application flexibility: Spring, Autumn and Winter

The great strength of Varromed lies in its seasonal versatility. Unlike other solutions, it adapts to the colony's cycle. You can apply it in spring, autumn and winter. This flexibility allows for fine-tuned management of infestation throughout the year.

• In spring: The treatment helps reduce the varroa load before the main honey flow. This protects new generations of worker bees.
• In autumn: It is crucial to treat after harvest. This ensures the birth of healthy winter bees, capable of surviving the cold months.
• In winter: A broodless application is ideal. It cleans the colony of the last residual mites for a clean start the following year.

The presence or absence of brood influences effectiveness, but the product remains active. Formic acid has the ability to partially penetrate the cell cappings. Thus, it reaches varroa mites hidden in the cells, where they reproduce.

The benefits of this treatment for your hives

Integrating Varromed into your health strategy provides many benefits:

• Organic Farming: The product can be used in organic beekeeping (according to local regulations).
• Queen safety: Studies show excellent tolerance for the queen and worker bees during treatments.
• Ease of use: The ergonomic bottle allows drip application directly between frames.
• No resistance build-up: Mites do not develop known resistance to the organic acids used.
• Fast action: Varroa drop begins shortly after the product is administered.
• Zero residue: It leaves no harmful traces in wax or honey when used properly.

Frequently asked questions about Varromed and varroa

When should Varromed be applied?

The ideal timing depends on your climate and the hive's infestation level. Varromed is designed for three key periods. In spring, treat if the natural varroa drop exceeds a certain threshold. This avoids an explosion of the parasite population in summer. In autumn, treatments are almost systematic to prepare for wintering. Finally, in winter, a single broodless application (when the queen is no longer laying) is very effective. It eliminates phoretic mites attached to adult bees. Always monitor the weather before intervening.

Is Varromed dangerous for the queen?

The queen's safety is a major concern for every beekeeper. Tests conducted by BeeVital demonstrate the product's high level of safety. When the prescribed dosages are followed, Varromed does not affect the queen's fertility. It also does not disrupt the development of open or capped brood. However, as with any acid-based treatment, overdosing should be avoided. Strictly follow the number of applications recommended per season. A healthy colony with a vigorous queen will handle the intervention perfectly.

How many applications are needed?

The number of applications varies depending on the season and the presence of brood. In winter, a single application is generally sufficient because there is no brood in which varroa mites can hide. In spring or autumn, the presence of brood requires repeating the treatment. It is often recommended to apply 3 times, spaced 6 days apart. This cycle allows the mites emerging from cells as new bees are born to be targeted. Observe the hive floor to count the drop and adjust your protocol.

What is the exact composition of Varromed?

This product is a liquid suspension made from naturally derived substances. It contains 5 mg/ml of formic acid and 44 mg/ml of oxalic acid dihydrate. Oxalic acid acts by direct contact on the mites. Formic acid reinforces this action and has a limited vapor effect. The solution also contains sugar (sucrose) to increase attractiveness for the bees. The added propolis serves as a natural preservative and enhances palatability. It is this balanced formulation that makes Varromed an essential ally of sustainable beekeeping.
