Separate multiple strips in a go, handing over to you a chance to achieve higher productivity. Apivar offers a stress-free and uncomplicated treatment of varroa mites.
Three new Apivar packs made to suit your demand
The new Apivar packs of 4, 12 and 60 strips, mean no strips go unused! No matter the number of strips your hives need, there is a package made just for you.
Our packs now perfectly match the number of strips you will need per hive (1 strip per 5 frames of bees, usually meaning 4 strips for a double brood chamber, or 2 strips for a single one).
No matter the type of operation you manage, grab the pack you find most convenient and achieve maximum results that Apivar provides.
New Apivar: less waste, easier on the environment
The pack of 4 strips is the key to eliminating the difficulty associated with having to dispose unused strips. Purchase the right number of strips to treat your hives and do not worry about leftover strips. Fresh strips for a fresh treatment season – and for high efficacy.
The larger size pack of 60 strips is highly recommended for sideliners or commercial beekeepers. Open fewer Apivar packages and help reduce waste.
