Australia’s First Fully Registered Varroa Treatment | Organic Thymol Gel for Effective, Residue-Free Varroa Control with Up to 93% Efficacy

Looking for an organic, fully APVMA-registered Varroa mite treatment? Apiguard® Thymol Gel is one of the world’s most trusted organic Varroa control products, used in over 60 countries and was the first Varroa treatment to receive full APVMA registration in Australia. Each pack contains 10 x 50g foil trays, enough to treat 5 hives (2 trays per hive over a 6-week treatment cycle).

What is Apiguard® and how does it work?

Apiguard® is a slow-release thymol gel, thymol is a natural compound derived from the thyme plant, making Apiguard a genuinely organic Varroa treatment. Worker bees walk over the gel tray, picking up tiny amounts of thymol on their bodies and distributing it through the colony. The thymol vapour kills phoretic Varroa mites on adult bees and disrupts mite reproduction, while leaving the bees unharmed when used as directed.

How to use Apiguard Trays

Always follow the APVMA-approved label for full instructions. General guide:

• Dose: 2 trays per hive over a 6-week treatment cycle
• Application 1: Peel back the foil lid and place the first tray gel-side-up on top of the brood frames, centred over the colony. Leave for 2 weeks.
• Application 2: After 14 days, remove the first tray and place a second 50g tray in the same position. Leave for 4 weeks.
• Spacing required: Leave at least 0.5cm between the tray and the hive cover for bee access

Important conditions for best results

• Temperature matters — Apiguard works best at above 15°C, with optimal results between 15°C and 40°C. Cooler temperatures slow the treatment; warmer temperatures speed it up.
• Apply only when bees are active — distribution depends on bee movement.
• Honey supers must be removed before treatment. Apiguard is not approved for use with honey supers in place.
• Open hive entrances fully — thymol vapour is heavier than air and needs ventilation.

No honey withholding period - safe and clean

Once treatment is complete and trays are removed, honey supers can be added back. Apiguard is one of the most trusted organic Varroa treatments precisely because it leaves no harmful residues in honey, wax, or comb.

Safety and Storage

• Wear chemical-resistant gloves when handling, thymol can irritate skin and eyes
• Avoid breathing vapours during application
• Wash your hands thoroughly after handling
