Amiflex is the first registered amitraz “flash” treatment in the USA, without temperature constraints
This is the result of 6 years of R&D by the Véto-pharma team. The goal was to provide a legal, safe and ready-to-use “flash” amitraz product for commercial beekeepers. Challenge accepted!
The new Amiflex gel provides an easy way to treat hives before, between or after honey flows, or just before starting a slow-release treatment, without temperature constraints.1
Amiflex is registered in all States of the USA, except CA (California) [still pending]
When can I use Amiflex?
Amiflex is a 7-day treatment.
You can use it before, after or between honey flows, as there is no withdrawal period after application. Maximum flexibility! Just make sure you always treat without honey supers.
In case of high infestation, you can apply up to 2 subsequent applications, with a 7-day break in-between.
You can also use Amiflex at the end of the season, right before your slow-release treatment, to get a knock-down effect before applying the long-action treatment to do its job. Combining a flash + slow-release treatment ensures a fast mite reduction and long-term protection for several weeks.
Keep in mind that you can apply Amiflex up to 4 times per year on the same colony.
Amiflex does not replace long-action treatments. It is an additional tool for your varroa control strategy.
Ready-To-Use for maximum convenience
Amiflex is quick and easy to apply. Simply insert the cartridge into the dosing gun—no mixing or extra equipment needed !
The included dosing gun delivers a precise 3mL dose per application. Apply 2 doses (6mL) per single-body hive or 4 doses (12mL) per double-body hive.
Apply 2 doses of 3mL of Amiflex gel per bee box. It means a total of 6mL for a single-body hive, and 12mL for a double-body hive.
Amiflex is available in two formats:
Refill Pack: 10 cartridges (120mL each), 400 wooden supports.
Starter Pack: 1 dosing gun, 10 cartridges (120mL each), 400 wooden supports.
Each pack treats 100 (double brood box) to 200 hives (single brood box).
