Replacement CO2 cartridge with thread for Varroa tester

Replacement CO2 Cartridge with Thread for Varroa Tester

Keep varroa mite monitoring always under control and without unnecessary delays. This replacement carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridge serves as a gas source for the Varroa tester and enables quick and clear evaluation of bee colony infestation by varroa mites.

Gentle Diagnosis Without Bee Losses

Regular monitoring of mite drop is the foundation for proper timing of colony treatments. Unlike some other methods (such as alcohol wash), the CO2 test does not kill bees – it only immobilizes them for a short time. Thanks to this replacement cartridge, you can continue with the non-invasive method that is considerate to colony strength.

Main Advantages

Gentle to bees: CO2 only temporarily anesthetizes bees. After testing, they quickly recover and can be returned to the hive – without unnecessary worker losses.
Accurate evaluation: Enables effective separation of mites from bees and subsequent easy counting of mite drop.
Quick replacement: Threaded design ensures convenient and quick replacement even directly at the apiary.

Compatibility and Use

The cartridge is designed for the Varroa tester (H7309). Standardized threading contributes to reliable sealing and proper function in the dispenser. For the post-harvest and autumn period, we recommend having at least one spare cartridge in reserve so you can perform testing continuously and without interruption.
