An apparatus for vaporizing and blowing vaporized pesticide from a
container into a bee hive comprising: i) an elongate housing having a top
side portion, an open front discharge end portion and a partially closed
rear end portion; ii) a heated receptacle positioned within a front
portion of the housing; iii) a fan positioned within a rear portion of
the housing; iv) a longitudinal slide, slidingly positioned within the
top side portion of the housing, said slide having a rear manipulation
end portion extending through the rear end portion of the elongate
housing and a front end portion having a dosimetric cavity therethrough;
and, v) a container receptacle to receive the pesticide container carried
inverted on the top side portion of the elongate housing, positioned
above the slide and configured so that when the dosimeter cavity is
aligned beneath the container, the dosimeter cavity fills with pesticide,
and then when the slide is moved sufficiently longitudinally, the
pesticide is delivered to and then falls through an opening onto the
heated receptacle to be vaporized, and thereafter is blown by the fan
through the discharge end portion of the housing into the bee hive.
