Electric Fumigator Varrojet

Electric Fumigator Varrojet for Rapid Treatment of Bee Colonies

Want to effectively protect your bee colonies against varroosis while simplifying your work in the apiary? The Varrojet electric fumigator is a practical tool for modern beekeepers. It facilitates the application of medication through fumigation, for example when treating with Varidol. The integrated fan blows the medicated smoke directly into the hive, where it disperses quickly and evenly. This helps increase the effectiveness of treatment against the Varroa destructor mite and significantly saves time when treating multiple colonies.

Benefits for Beekeepers

Faster work in the apiary: Compared to the conventional manual lighting of fumigation strips and waiting for them to smolder, the Varrojet allows you to treat hives considerably faster. The forced airflow promotes both combustion and smoke distribution, so you spend a minimum of time at each colony.

Safer fumigation process: The nozzle is equipped with a cross strip that helps seal the hive entrance during application. This limits the escape of bees from the hive and at the same time helps retain the smoke inside the hive space. An important advantage is also the reduced risk of fumes escaping toward the operator.

Durable design for long-term use: The Varrojet fumigator is designed with the demanding conditions of beekeeping practice in mind. The metal parts of the burner ensure good heat resistance, the sturdy handle facilitates handling, and the robust battery compartment cover latch contributes to reliable operation over multiple seasons.

Versatile use: The fumigator's design allows use with various types and configurations of hives. Treatment can be carried out on bee colonies at different developmental stages, always in accordance with the instructions for the medication used and current veterinary recommendations.

Recommended Fumigation Procedure

Fumigation is carried out after the last honey harvest, most commonly at the end of summer or the beginning of autumn, when the hive no longer contains honey intended for consumption. Treatment is usually repeated 2 to 5 times with an interval of 6 days between individual applications. Suitable conditions occur when the lowest daily temperature is approximately 12–14 °C. To protect the device from overheating, we recommend taking a short cooling break after treating every 6 colonies.

Easy to Use

1. Place the fumigation strip or tablet on the protective metal screen of the device.
2. Light the strip using a lighter.
3. Once it begins to glow and release smoke, insert the fumigator nozzle into the hive up to the marked white strip and switch the device on.
4. After the strip has completely burned, turn off the fumigator, remove the ash from the screen, and you can proceed to the next hive.
