Apistan Strips: 10 Strips

The ongoing war against varroa mites (external parasite) requires an ally. Find support in Apistan, which uses tau-fluvalinate, an EPA approved insecticide that has been used against varroa mites for about 30 years. Unfortunately, because of its misuse by many beekeepers (leaving the strips in too long and feeding the liquid form of the chemical), many beekeepers are finding that the mites have developed a resistance to Apistan.

This pack of 10 strips will treat 5 hives.

Instructions for Use:

Suspend two strips per hive between the frames in the brood chamber. To achieve maximum effectiveness in the North, we suggest placing Apistan strips in the hive immediately after the Fall honey harvest and leaving them there for 45 days(Do not leave in any longer).
