Product Use

Fumidil-B
Bicyclohexylammonium Fumiagillin Soluble Powder HS For Veterinary Use Only
DESCRIPTION: Fumidil-B is a water-soluble preparation containing Bicyclohexylammonium Fumagillin, equivalent to 20 mg Fumagillin base per gram of powder.

Fumidil-B has a high specific action against Nosema apis., a microscopic, single-celled parasite which causes Nosema disease in honey bees. It acts on the multiplying, disease producing parasite in the gut and is not effective against the spores. To eradicate the continuing supply of parasites, Fumidil-B must be provided over a period of several weeks.

DIRECTIONS: Fumidil-B should be dissolved in water and then added to syrup. For best results, heat the required amount of water to 95-122°F, then remove the heat source and add the Fumidil-B and the sugar in that order.
Do not add Fumidil-B to syrup over 86°F. Feed the medicated syrup within 24 hours. To prepare this concentration of medicated syrup, use the following chart.

Water +Sugar =Syrup +Fumidil-B
48.5 gallons +800.7 lbs = 110 gallons 500 gram bottle
0.44 gallons +7.3 lbs = 1 gallon 4.5 grams

Fall Feeding Medicated Syrup

2 gallons for each 2-chamber colony (approximately 30,000 bees) 1 gallon for each 1-chamber colony (approximately 12,000 bees)
¾ gallon for each 5-frame colony (approximately 12,000 bees)

Feed additional unmedicated syrup to desired colony weight for wintering.

Spring Feeding Medicated Syrup

1 gallon for each 2-chamber colony (approximately 30,000 bees)
½ gallon for each 1-chamber colony (approximately 12,000 bees)
½ gallon for each 5-frame colony (approximately 12,000 bees) 1 gallon for each package colony

Feed additional unmedicated syrup to provide nourishment until nectar is available. Each package colony is best fed Fumidil-B immediately after installation.
Colonies used for package production should be fed medicated syrup as a principle food source for one month prior to shaking for market.

Heavily infested colonies that will no longer take in syrup may be sprayed repletely, directly onto the bees, frame by frame with 1:1 sugar syrup (one-part sugar to one-part water).

WARNING:
Medicated syrup must not be fed immediately before or during the honey flow.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
Store below 77°F, protected from sunlight. Do not expose medicated syrup to sunlight.
