Precautions for use

Colony size

Colony < 10 : Do not use for the treatment of bee colonies of less than 10.000 bees. Small colonies of bees would not be able to ventilate enough for the concentration of formic acid to be bearable.
Expanding Colony (presence of bees on more than 8 frames): A super with frames is to be added in order to promote ventilation.

Temperature

Do not use at daytime temperatures outside the temperature range of 10 – 29,5°C on the day of application and on subsequent days.

Honeyed

Withdrawal time: Honey: zero days. Remove supers containing honey from the hive before applying the product. Honey stored in the supers during the processing period must be extracted and is not intended for human consumption. Remove the used ribbons before placing the supers intended for the honey harvest on the body of the hive.

EPI

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
When handling or applying the product, wear the appropriate PPE: coveralls, mask, protective goggles and chemical resistant protective gloves.
There must be an abundant source of water.
In case of accidental eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of clean water for 10 minutes, then seek medical advice and show the package leaflet to the physician.
In the event of accidental contact with the skin, rinse the exposed area immediately with clear water, then seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Avoid inhalation of vapours. Open the container containing the product and unpack the ribbons only in the open air and with your back to the wind.
