  • Proven safe and effective for more than 15 years
  • Leaves no significant residues in hive products*
  • Convenient and easy to use

Apivar Dramatically Cuts Mite Population

A study conducted by the research arm of the USDA in the spring of 2012 shows that Apivar® was responsible for a 52 - fold drop in mite population compared to an untreated hive. This demonstrates the effectiveness of Apivar's® controlled - release technology.

Apivar Strips Save Time and Effort

Apivar® is packaged in vacuum-sealed foil pouches. A single application of two strips per brood chamber is sufficient to treat a hive, so you spend less time and effort treating your bees, and there is less disruption of the bees than with many other treatments. Strips are not individually wrapped and must be used within 2 weeks after opening.

Our Community Garden has only two colonies (hives) but we want to keep each of them healthy -- that means destroying Varroa mites. Two mite sticks does the trick.
