Beekeeping is crucial to the pollination of crops and the production of quality honey. However, bees, those precious pollinators, face many challenges, one of the most formidable of which is Varroa destructor, a parasitic mite that can decimate entire colonies. To protect our bees and maintain healthy hives, the use of Apitraz, containing amitraz, is an effective option for controlling varroa destructor.
Varroa destructor is a parasitic mite that attacks bees. Originating in Asia, it has invaded European bee populations and become a scourge for bee colonies worldwide. Varroa feed on the bees' hemolymph, weakening individuals and the colony as a whole. Varroasis, the disease caused by these parasites, is one of the main threats to bee survival.
Apitraz is a treatment specially designed to combat varroasis in bees. Its active ingredient, amitraz, is effective against Varroa mites sensitive to this substance. It is an approved product for the treatment of external parasitic diseases caused by Varroa destructor.
One of the features of Apitraz that makes it attractive to beekeepers is its ease of use. Apitraz strips are easy to handle and apply in the hive. Simply hang the Apitraz strips in the hive according to the manufacturer's recommendations. These strips slowly diffuse amitraz into the colony, killing Varroa mites sensitive to the drug.
Apitraz's effectiveness against varroa has been proven for many years. Beekeepers all over the world rely on this treatment to protect their bee colonies against these fearsome parasites. By following the instructions for use, you can contribute to the health of your bees and the preservation of your colonies.
Bees play an essential role in the pollination of plants, contributing to the production of many of the fruits, vegetables and seeds we eat every day. Controlling varroasis is therefore crucial to the survival of bees and global food security.
By choosing Apitraz as your varroasis control solution, you are taking a proactive step to protect our precious pollinators and support the vitality of your bee colonies. Contribute to the preservation of bees by using Apitraz and helping to maintain healthy hives.

How to use these strips
