Apistan – Professional-Grade Varroa Mite Control by Vita Bee Health
Apistan by Vita Bee Health is a trusted, professional-standard treatment designed to combat Varroa destructor, one of the most harmful parasites affecting honey bee colonies worldwide. This proven solution plays a critical role in protecting hives from the devastating effects of Varroa mite infestations—preserving colony strength, productivity, and overall hive health.
Apistan is supplied in convenient, easy-to-use plastic strips, carefully formulated to deliver a precise and consistent release of the active ingredient, ensuring maximum efficacy throughout the treatment period. The strips are placed directly into the brood chamber, where worker bees come into contact with the treatment as they move naturally through the hive. This ensures broad coverage and effective mite control with minimal disturbance to the colony.
