General Information

We feed 1/3 quart or 1/3 litre or about 10 ounces of Light Sugar Syrup with Nozevit added per hive per feeding.  You add 1ml or 20 drops for each feeding of 1/3 quart, 1/3 litre, or 10 oz. – whichever measurement you are most familiar with.

Obviously there are variables that would necessitate a bit more or less per hive depending on strength of hive. 

Application method is either by drenching or spraying directly on top of frames in hive. 

We just lift the lid and remove inner cover and spray or drench the top of hive, then cover the hive up and move on to the next one.  This process takes us about 10 to 15 seconds per hive depending on how stuck the lid and inner cover are.  A two man crew takes about 8 seconds per hive.

You can use a pump sprayer from your garden supply store or for the larger operations you can fill a 55 gallon barrel or 250 gallon plastic tote in a wire cage (or larger) and hook up a 12 volt pump and attach a hose with fan spray nozzle or jet on the end.  Do not blast the bees.  A light even spray or drench between the frames is what you are trying to do.  If you are spraying, I suggest spraying into a bucket and time how long it takes to spray 10 oz.  Everyone’s pump and sprayer is different so I cannot tell you to spray for 8 or 10 seconds; you spray in your bucket and then you will know your rate of delivery.

For Preventive Care of your bees we recommend feeding your bees 2 times, 10 days apart.  We feed two times in the spring and two times in the fall just before wintering.  If you have a summer dearth in your area we recommend you feed two or three times with Nozevit in your sugar syrup.

Nozevit will last in the syrup just as long as your syrup is good and not fermenting or going bad.  Always store unused Nozevit and Syrup with Nozevit in cool dark location.

Pollen patty substitutes should have Nozevit added.  Add 1ml or 20 drops to dry product that will weigh 1 lb. or ½ kilo wet.  For the commercial beekeeper add 500ml Nozevit per 310 lbs dry patty product. 

Our recommended use is 1ml or 20 drops per 1lb finished weight (wet) patty.

How to mix:

For the Hobbyist:

Mix 3ml or 60 drops per quart or litre of thin sugar syrup.  This is enough to feed three hives one time each.  If you have a handful of hives mix 1 tablespoon or 15ml in 5 quarts or litres of light (50/50) syrup to feed approximately 15 hives one time each. A 50ml bottle can be mixed in 4 gallons or 15 litres of Light Sugar Syrup.  These 4 gallons are enough to feed 50 hives one time each.  If you had 5 hives and needed to feed them 2 times 10 days apart I would mix one gallon or 4 litres of syrup with 12ml Nozevit or 2 ½ teaspoons which is just a tag more than you need to feed those 5 hives two times.

Sideliner: 

A 250ml bottle should be mixed in with 22 gallons or 83 litres of light syrup.  This is enough to feed about 250 hives one time each or 125 hives the minimum two feedings 10 days apart, (or 62 hives fed 4 times 4 days apart).

Commercial:

Remember, you feed 1ml or 20 drops of Nozevit per hive mixed into either 1/3 quart, 1/3 litre, or 10 oz. light sugar syrup.

50ml bottle of Nozevit feeds 50 hives one time when mixed into 4 gallons or 15 litres of syrup.

250ml bottle of Nozevit feeds 250 hives one time when mixed into 22 gallons or 83 litres syrup.

500ml bottle of Nozevit feeds 500 hives one time when mixed into 44 gallons or 167 litres syrup.

1000ml (1 litre) bottle of Nozevit feeds1000 hives one time when mixed into 88 gallons or 333 litres syrup.
