Terramycin 100MR | 50lb Bag

Description Terramycin is the only antibiotic approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of European and American foulbrood in honey bees. Foulbrood often emits a sour smell in the hive, often making it clear to beekeepers what’s infecting the hive’s larvae. This highly concentrated Terramycin™ is used to treat and prevent American and European foulbrood in honey bees. Terramycin uses dextrose as a carrier. Most beekeepers use this product two times per year. Once in the spring and again in the fall. Be sure to remove the treatment of terramycin at least six weeks before honey flow begins to ensure there are no chemical residuals in the honey.
