GAS Mask OXYPRO A2B2 (filter not included)

Fight Varroa with the New Fogger by ANEL!
The new fogger by ANEL is the faster and most effective way to apply treatments!
The active substance in the form of fog can penetrate all the parts of hive ensuring the best application as well as the least residues left.
The duration of application needed is only around 4 seconds in each hive which means this is by far the fastest way than any other method used for treating beehives.
See it in action in the video tab!
Its' advantages are:
- No need for electrical power since it runs on gas (butane/propane bottle)
- Lightweight and small in size
- Easy to use (always with the appropriate mask)
- Reusable
- Uses simple means to create fog (glycerin, mineral oil or other organic oil like olive oil)
- Utilizes the active substance in its maximum
- Incomparable penetration
Due to the fact that chemical fog is released the use of an appropriate mask is strongly advised!
The use of the fogger must be done by responsible persons due to the gas bottle that it uses.

What is VarroCheck: Vita recommends regular monitoring of Varroa infestations. At the very least, this should be done at the beginning of the beekeeping season, before, during, and after any Varroa treatment. VarroCheck offers an effective and accurate way to quickly monitor Varroa levels in your hive.

How to Use VarroCheck:

1. Remove the lid from the bottle and use the measuring cup to add a cup of diluted alcohol (1 part isopropyl alcohol to 4 parts water) into the test bottle.
2. Select two or three frames from the center of the brood area (preferably with open brood) and carefully check for the queen. Do not use the frame if the queen is present.
3. Shake the bees from the frame into a large container, allowing the forager bees to fly away, leaving only the nurse bees.
4. Use the measuring cup to collect a full measure of bees (about 300 bees) and place them in the bottle, closing it.
5. Gently shake the bottle to wet the bees and kill the Varroa mites.
6. Open the lid and add enough alcohol solution to cover the bees. Close it again and shake the bottle gently, avoiding foam formation.
7. After one minute, open the lid and lift the mesh basket, shaking off as much liquid as possible as you lift it.
8. Look through the transparent bottle and count the number of Varroa mites. Divide this number by 3 to calculate the infestation percentage (i.e., if you count 6 Varroa mites, 6 divided by 3 = 2, so the infestation percentage is 2%).
9. Check the acceptable infestation percentage depending on the hive's condition and the season, and take appropriate action.

Advantages of VarroCheck:

• Economical: durable and long-lasting.
• Effective: fast and accurate infestation rates.
• Simple: flexible and easy to use.
