Any Time of Year
HopGuard III is a contact application and can be applied anytime during the year, but its efficacy increases when there is less brood present in the colonies. The application reduces mite levels and gives colonies a boost to grow. Studies have shown this food-grade product is safe to use during honey flow without any risk of disrupting nectar foraging or tainting the honey.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has registered HopGuard® III, a new biochemical miticide, Potassium Salts of Hops Beta Acids (K-HBAs), which is intended to provide another option for beekeepers to combat the devastating effects of the Varroa mite on honey bee colonies and to avoid the development of resistance toward other products.
HopGuard® III is only available in Canada.
