Apivar Strips

Apivar is the only Amitraz-based apiary product that treats successive generations of Varroa mites, reducing the mite population in the hive by up to 99% in one application. 

• Two strips per brood chamber
• Not temperature-dependent
• 6-8 week treatment period

Apivar is a contact miticide, meaning it works when the bees come in contact with the impregnated polymer strip and distribute the miticide by contact with other bees within the hive.

Application Instructions:

It is recommended to treat all colonies with the same yard at the same time to prevent reinfestation. Leave the strips in place for at least 6 weeks before removing them. Apivar is not recommended for use while honey supers are on the hive.
