Apivar Strips Varroa Mite Treatment for Honey Bees with Easy Rip Strips 97-99% Effective Against Mites (60 Pack)

Will recommended if you grow bees. this product has saved the life of my bees and now I am ordering them at least 3 times a year just to make sure that I have it in case that will need. They are easy to use

Gets the job done!

Great treatment for varroa mites. Dropped the mite numbers in my hives significantly.

Apivar Pros:Convenient strips and easy to follow directionsPut a date on the strip, tack it on, and come back to remove when it’s time and you will see dead mitesApivar Cons:Highly toxic and taints honey, wax, etc…You can read about this stuff for days on Reddit posts to scientists blogs. The problem is this. No one has a straight forward answer to how toxic. Their own website states different things. I have read beekeepers state they handle it with no gloves for multiple boxes and others state it is cancerous.. Why risk it?I would love to know if after a few month of product sitting..like honey.. is it always there or does it breakdown into more harmful compounds?We made the mistake of tainting our honey. It is great for a new colony, as pictured above, this 1 is a nuc. They need their honey reserves for the first winter. Next year we will find another alternative for our hives. It was good for what was needed at the time.

We have some bees, one colony had died out almost completely by the time we got to doing this treatment. It was awesome, really very helpful and our other colony survived! Thanks!

Easy to use

Shipped quickly, works great

Be careful. Make certain you are ready to use these immediately. The package I received was within a month of expiration date.
