Apivar Varroa Treatment (Sachet of 10 Strips/ 5 Colonies)

Apivar Varroa Treatment (Sachet of 10 Strips) 

Apivar comes in a pack of 10 strips. 

Each treatment requires the use of 2 strips meaning that each pack will treat five hives.

Strips are 210x40mm wide and therefore fit neatly between the frames without having to be cut or bent.

The active ingredient is Amitraz which paralyzes the varroa mite causing it to fall off the bees.

One single application of Apivar has efficacy of up to 99% and there are no temperature constraints as there are with most other varroa treatments. 

It can therefore be used at any time of year, although supers must not be on the hives. 

The strips should be left in for between 6 and 10 weeks, depending on the size of the brood and the time of year. 

We would recommend a spring treatment of between 6 and 10 weeks or an autumn treatment of 10 weeks.

Apivar can be used during feeding - in fact it is recommended.

Apivar has a shelf life of 24 months from the time of manufacture.

Apivar cannot be returned.

Apivar can only be sent within the United Kingdom
