Gardstar, used to break the brood cycle of the Small Hive Beetle	GardStar   See it Y-Tex GardStar 40% EC Livestock and Premise Insecticide (permethrin) is used to control Small Hive Beetle (SHB) infestations by breaking the beetle's brood cycle.  The beetle pupates in the soil, and permethrin, when used as a soil drench, kills the larvae and pupae in the soil.  Even though GardStar is highly toxic to honeybees, it is applied to the soil directly in front of the hive.  If it is applied correctly, there is little chance that it will come in contact with the colony.
