Organic BEES TREATMENT Beeswax, For Candles, Lip Balm, Skin Moisturizer, Form : Granules, Solid

Apivar is the trade name for a varroa mite treatment based on the chemical amitraz. Amitraz is an acaricide/insecticide that has been around since 1969. Its chemical name is N,N'-[(methylimino)dimethylidyne]di-2,4-xylidine and is considered a “hard” chemical treatment.
Suspend Apivar strips in the brood chamber so bees can walk on both sides of the strips. Leave strips in the hive for a minimum of 42 days, and then remove. DO NOT re-use the strips.
Apivar should be used twice in a calendar year. Once during the spring before the bees start collecting nectar and once during the autumn after harvesting. Since Apivar works by contact, strips should be placed in an area where there is peak bee activity and where the Varroa are breeding.
Can I treat a hive with Apivar when feeding my bees? Yes, Apivar does not interfere with feeding in any way (unlike thymol-based products). In fact, feeding increases activity in the colony and therefore increases the spread of active ingredient throughout the hive
