Apiguard treatment of bees

I treated the bees for varroa mites yesterday with Apiguard and I think they do not like it today. Its up at around 21 degrees and the fumes from the thyme oil has drove the bees outside for some fresh air.

Treating hives for varroa mite is very important and unfortunately there is not many alternatives, if you don't treat you risk opening your hives in the spring and finding them empty.
