PRODUCT INFO
SALVATION SALVE
This comes in a 2 oz. cup. This grease patty is a control treatment for tracheal mites, which are microscopic. The patty contains sugar, vegetable shortening, thymol crystals, essential oils. The vapors breathed in by the bees will kill the mites and while the bees try to remove the patty, they will get it on them which will make the phoretic mites unable to hold or get stuck on to the bee's hair and can't transfer to other bee hosts. This is a very inexpensive and effective way to deal with these mites. Recommended application: 1-2 ounces per application Spring- Once per month in March, April, May at the beginning of the month. Fall- Once per month in September, October, November at the beginning of the month. Should not be used when honey supers are on hive. *Store in cool area.
