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.
It is recommended to treat all colonies within the same yard at the same time to prevent reinfestation. Leave the strips in place for at least 6 weeks before removing. Apivar is not recommended for use while honey supers are on the hive.
Consult the MB Honey Bee Health Treatment Guide for more treatment information.
Monitor your mite levels with the Varroa easyCheck counting jar.
