Refilling Liquid for Apisolis 120ml

When you head to the apiary and every minute counts — whether during rosemary bloom or a quick inspection before the heat rises — you appreciate calm, clean work without smoke. That’s where the Apisolis electric smoker makes the difference… and now you can fine-tune it even further with its two dedicated liquids: Native and Nova (select your variant).

Nova (120 ml) is the choice for beekeepers who need a fast response with lively colonies or in demanding operations (splits, honey harvests in lavender, windy apiaries). Field tests show a +56% stronger immediate effect and a +25% longer lasting effect compared to the previous formula. The reaction is comparable to a traditional smoker — but without combustion or irritating smoke. In practice you’ll notice an initial effect after about 5 seconds and a calming action of around 90 seconds, enough to open, check and work with peace of mind.

Native (120 ml) is the pioneer: a bio-sourced formula enriched with essential oil actives, certified by ECOCERT and FDA. It produces a gentle vapor that respects the bees, perfect for routine inspections and balanced colonies. One bottle yields about 250 visits (on gentle colonies), making it a cost-effective and reliable everyday choice.

Genetics and temperament: how to choose
The colony’s response depends on genetics and context (nectar flow, climate, manipulations). In practice beekeepers often find that:
• For colonies with more defensive behavior — e.g., certain local lines of Apis mellifera iberiensis or reactive hybrids — Nova ensures faster and more stable calm.
• For colonies of more docile genetics — e.g., selected lines of Apis mellifera ligustica or carnica — Native is usually more than enough and the most economical per visit.
• If in doubt, start with Native and reserve Nova for key moments (harvests, splits, strong winds) or lively colonies.

Compatibility and format
• Use exclusively with the Apisolis electric smoker (ref. EB020).
• 120 ml bottle adapted to the reservoir; application is simple and clean.
• Do not mix formulas in the reservoir.

Usage and storage tips
• Use only with Apisolis, following the manual.
• Effects may vary depending on genetics, temperament and weather conditions.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

With Apisolis — and the right variant — you enter the hive calmly, protect your health and care for your bees’ wellbeing. Choose Native or Nova and adapt your beekeeping to your field reality.
