30 ml SPONGE CAPACITY | 10-20 mm ABOVE THE TOP BARS |
Ø 12 cm DIAMETER | Regulable TO FULLY CLOSED |
Diffuser with an adjustable opening and a 30 ml absorbent sponge, for metering acid evaporation inside the hive.
It sits over the frames and can be closed completely, so the evaporating surface is adjusted rather than left wide open. It is the application tool: the product and its dose come separately.
01 · POSITIONING
It does not rest on the wood: the correct position is 10-20 mm above the top bars. That gap is what lets the vapour spread across the full width of the brood nest instead of concentrating at the contact point. To get the height without improvising, a bee escape works as a stand: rest it on top and it leaves exactly the right gap.
02 · THE ADJUSTMENT
The sponge takes up to 30 ml, but what sets the evaporation rate is how much surface you leave open — and the ambient temperature, which with these products changes the outcome a great deal between a cool day and a hot one. That is why the lid adjusts and closes fully: you can stop the evaporation when you finish, or leave the diffuser loaded and shut between one hive and the next without emptying it.
03 · BEFORE YOU BUY
It measures 12 cm across and 3.5 cm tall, so it needs that much clear space above the frames: with a super sitting flush it will not fit. And it is an empty diffuser — no product is included.
| ✓ FITS | Application by evaporation over the frames, with at least 3.5 cm of clear space. |
| ✕ DOESN'T FIT | Applying by trickling or spraying, and hives with no room above the top bars. |
| ⚠ NOT INCLUDED | Any medicine or acid product. |
Full protection when loading it. The acids applied by evaporation are dangerous in concentration: goggles, a respirator with a suitable filter, gloves and long sleeves. Load the diffuser away from the hive and without rushing.
Authorised medicines only. This diffuser is an application accessory: it does not in itself authorise any substance, dose or route. For veterinary treatments use only registered medicines and apply what their current data sheet states — which is also what sets the timing and the duration.
