Bee Health

The Varroa mite is the #1 threat to honeybee health, having a devastating effect on beehives worldwide. The Varroa mite reduces overall hive health, transmits disease from bee to bee, increases susceptibility to other bee diseases and reduces winter survivability.  And, the Varroa mite has developed resistance to many existing control agents. BetaTec^® research has discovered a natural hop compound that is highly effective in combating the Varroa mite.

HopGuard^TM is a scientifically proven Varroa control system.  This excellent miticide is derived from natural hop compounds, and provides the beekeeper with a bee-safe and easy to use alternative to traditional harsh chemicals.

HopGuard^TM has been approved for use under Section 18 emergency use exemptions in selected states.  HopGuard^TM does not have Section 18 emergency use exemptions in all states.  To learn more about HopGuard^TM, find retail dealers from whom HopGuard^TM is available and to see which states have Section 18 use exemptions, click here.
