For the days you are deep in the hive
Some days you are in and out. Others you take the colony apart — a Demaree, a split, the frames coming out after the harvest — and somewhere around the third box the bees have had enough of you. This is for those days.
It goes in two ways, which is the useful part. Sprayed onto the bees, the way you would use a smoker. Or into the syrup, so it is already in the colony before you open anything.
Sprayed on, or fed in. Most of the range is one or the other. This is both, and the feeding route is the one worth knowing about: it puts the colony in a different frame of mind before the work starts rather than during it.
Demaree, splits, and after the harvest. The days a colony gets handled far past its patience, and the days it turns defensive because its stores have just left. Those are the ones this earns.
The smell is sharp, and that is the point. It will bother you considerably more than it bothers them. Bees find it attractive — a scent they come towards rather than back away from.
Minerals and a vitamin mix, so the colony is being fed while it settles rather than only quietened. Natural, and no residue in honey or comb.
If what you want is specifically to put the smoker down, that is the other one: Dr. Gost Liquid Bee Smoker Spray Vitamin-Enriched (1 LT).

Common questions
- Does it contain anything of animal origin?
- The manufacturer declares this product to be entirely of plant and mineral origin, containing no ingredients of animal origin — no honey, milk, meat, egg, animal protein or animal fat.
- Does it leave any residue in the honey?
- No. The products leave no residue in honey or comb, so a treated colony still produces honey you can harvest and sell normally.
- Can I use it during the honey flow?
- Yes. Because nothing carries over into the honey, they can be used during the flow rather than only in the gaps between harvests.
- How often can it be used?
- They can be used continuously through the season and repeated season after season — there is no withdrawal period to plan around and no rotation requirement.
- The product has a smell — is something wrong?
- No, that is expected. The products are naturally made and contain fermented ingredients, which can give off a noticeable smell. Bees find it attractive rather than off-putting — it is a scent they seek out.
- How long does it keep, and how should it be stored?
- Each pack carries a recommended use-by date, generally 24 months from manufacture. Keep it in its original packaging between 5 and 20 °C, out of direct sunlight. The smell and any settling may change over time — that belongs to a naturally produced, fermented product.
- Can I return an opened product?
- No. For health and hygiene reasons, a product whose own vented plastic cap or inner packet has been opened cannot be returned (EU Consumer Rights Directive art. 16). The outer shipping box does not count — you may open the parcel and look at the goods. Products with their own seal intact can be returned within 14 days.
