Nozevit
Nozevit is an organic treatment for Nosema.
This product is a safe alternative to Fumidil B and trials have shown that it promotes an increase in early brood size when used as a food supplement.
Nosema (or nosemosis) is caused by "Nosema apis", a small parasite that affects the adult honey bee. It can be caused by a contaminated water supply and the faeces of infected bees. Other factors that are believed to cause the spread of the disease include infected bees robbing other colonies, bad bee husbandry, temperature fluctuations, poor pasture, disturbance and frequent relocation of colonies.
Other conditions that help the spread of the disease are the impossibility of cleansing flights (defecating) during long periods of poor or wet weather, conditions when the bees are unable to leave the hive.
Usual signs are brown runny streaks and faecal matter in the form of diarrhoea on frames or at the entrance of the hive. Otherwise only a laboratory test can confirm the correct diagnosis.
Good beekeeping husbandry is recommended; equipment should be cleaned and washed regularly to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. If left untreated the spores will continue to spread, weakening the colony until they are unable to survive.
This pack of Nozevit comes with five 3ml straws. One straw is mixed with one
litre of weak syrup (1 kilo of sugar with 1 litre of water). The full treatment consists of
an initial 330ml dose which is fed to the colony, and an additional and final 330ml dose is provided ten days later. Treatment should take place in the spring and autumn.
Having an organic hive is better for the long-term health of bees and humans alike. So we highly recommend this product.
Keep your bees healthy using organic treatments.
