Apivar is recommended to be used during feeding

Please note supers should be removed from the hive before using this product

After a good honey harvest, its time to give the Bees their varroa treatment.
Our local Beekeepers association recommended we use Apivar this year.
I have heard lots of positive reports from people who have used this in the past.
It appears very straightforward to use.
I did shop around for the best price, and eventually purchased these from beekeepingsuppliesuk
Ordering was easy and delivery quick, so am pleased with my decision to buy these.
The only negative comment about Apivar is that it comes in a pack to treat 5 hives. Once you open the pack all the contents are activated, so you cannot reseal any unused ones. I have 4 hives, so unless I find someone that needs the leftover strips they will end up in the bin.


So easy

I’ve used apiquard in the past but as two hives have just been requeened , it wasn’t the best thing to use. I was recommended Apivar by Laurence @ blackmoubtainhoney as it’s easier on the queens. So easy to use , I may stick with it in the future.
