Apivar® 2.0

Apivar 2.0 strips feature a lower amitraz concentration (3%) but provide a faster mite knockdown and an extended treatment window compared to the original Apivar (3.33% amitraz)

2.0 is the next generation of amitraz-based Varroa mite treatment, designed for faster action, easier application and greater flexibility.

Using a contact-based delivery system, Apivar 2.0 releases amitraz through direct contact between bees and the strips. As bees interact, the active ingredient spreads throughout the colony. Its innovative hanging system accommodates different frame types, with a foldable line for Langstroth frames for simpler placement.

APIVAR DRAMATICALLY CUTS MITE POPULATION

A study conducted by the research arm of the USDA in the spring of 2012 shows that Apivar® was responsible for a 52 - fold drop in mite population compared to an untreated hive. This demonstrates the effectiveness of Apivar's® controlled - release technology.

How to Use

  • Use 1 strip per 5 frames of bees.
  • Place strips in the center of the brood nest.
  • Keep at least 2 frames between strips.
  • Keep both sides of each strip accessible to bees.
  • Treat for 6 weeks when brood is not present or 10 weeks when brood is present.
  • At mid-treatment, scrape strips free of wax and propolis and reposition them in the brood area for maximum efficacy.
  • Remove honey supers before application. Do not use Apivar 2.0 when honey supers are present.
  • Always read and follow the product label before use.

APIVAR STRIPS SAVE TIME AND EFFORT

Apivar® is packaged in vacuum-sealed foil pouches. A single application of two strips per brood chamber is sufficient to treat a hive, so you spend less time and effort treating your bees, and there is less disruption of the bees than with many other treatments. Strips are not individually wrapped and must be used within 2 weeks after opening.
