Description
Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) is a parasitic mite that targets honeybees. It feeds on the fat on their bodies and haemolymph (the bee equivalent of blood), weakening their immune systems and making them more vulnerable to diseases and viruses. This pest invades hives, reproduces in brood cells, and severely impacts colonies. It is considered one of the major threats to beekeeping, causing significant losses of bees worldwide.
The objective of varroa treatments is not only to control the infestation and avoid the consequences to the colony; but also to limit the pressure and sanitary impact of the parasite on neighbouring apiaries and on the bee population in general.
Apistan® is probably the best and simplest defence against the varroa mite. Since the 1980s it has been the benchmark treatment and is now registered for use in more than 50 countries. It is very easy to apply – simply insert two strips in the brood box of a standard colony for six weeks at the end of the season
