Suspend strips mid-way between the brood frames so that the bees can walk on each side of the strip. One strip is suspended between frame 3&4 and the other between frame 7&8 within the brood chamber. Small colonies and nuclei require one strip only suspended near the centre of the brood box.
Mis-use of pyrethroids has led to resistant mites in some areas, please check with your local association or visit Apistan: Varroa Control | Vita Bee Health (vita-europe.com) to see how to perform a “rule of thumb” test.
It is recommended to rotate your treatments every two to three years between different chemical classes.
