B 401 - Natural Preparation Against Wax Moth

Preparation against wax moth B 401 - 120 ml

B401 is a highly concentrated solution of bacteria called Bacillus thuringiensis. It is completely safe for humans and bees. This bacteria shows 100% effectiveness against wax moth larvae. Only a single application of the solution is needed to protect your drawn combs until the next season. B401 leaves no residues in wax or honey and is environmentally friendly.

The preparation against wax moth B4 01 is used after honey harvest, on stored drawn combs. The protection is effective until the frames are used during the next season. Suitable for nucleus hives or empty hives.

The bacteria from B 401 kills only young wax moth larvae. Therefore, use it as prevention, not to rescue already infested combs. B401 leaves no residues in wax or honey and is safe for bee larvae and bees.

Bacillus thuringiensis contained in the B401 solution was discovered in 1911. It produces spores containing a toxin that is released inside the wax moth larva, killing it. Adult moths do not feed and therefore are not affected by this product. B401 is harmless to vertebrates and bees, and leaves no residues in wax and honey.

From one 120 ml package, you can treat 100-120 frames.

How to use B401?

The preparation is used after honey harvest, when frames are stored.
Treating frames with B 401 ensures protection throughout the following period.

Instructions for use:

1. Shake the preparation before use.
2. Dilute the solution with water in a ratio of 1:19 (5% solution).
To treat 10 frames, dilute 10 ml of B 401 with 200 ml of drinking water.
3. Pour the diluted solution into a sprayer.
4. Apply the solution evenly to both sides of the frame.
5. After application, let the frames air out to evaporate excess water from the frames. (Water causes MOLD!!!)
6. Before using B 401, calculate the volume needed to treat the required
number of frames. The diluted 5% solution cannot be stored.
For 100% protection of the frame, apply 1.5 ml of concentrated 5% B 401 solution per 10 cm2.
