451 Mofed Bee – Formic Acid

Formic Acid 60% (w/v)

Formic acid is a natural and safe acid which doesn’t leave any traces in bee wax or honey.
It is used to combat the destructive Varroa pest for honey bees, as Varroa destructor causes:

• Decreasing of flight efficiency in infected males.

• Loss of protein level and blood volume in insects, this causes the bee sect to collapse.

• Decreasing of the average life of the whole insect.

• Transmission of viral and bacterial diseases.

Medicated strips:
Soak a strip (burlap or other) using 3 ml of Mofed Bee, then raise it and place a strip at a position of the density of bees above the hive for 10 days, then remove it and put another strip for an additional ten days.
Or put two strips apart for 14 days.
