Bayvarol

Bayvarol Varroa Treatment

Bayvarol Varroa treatment is a flumethrin based solution designed to control Varroa mites in honey bee colonies. Delivered through polymer strips, it works by contact as bees move through the hive, spreading the active ingredient and reducing mite populations.

The strip formulation ensures a consistent release of flumethrin over the treatment period, allowing it to target mites across multiple brood cycles and support overall hive health.

Dosage and Application

• 4 strips per brood box
• 2 strips per nuc

Place strips within the brood area where bee activity is highest to maximise contact and effectiveness.

Key Features

• Flumethrin based Varroa control
• Polymer strip for controlled release
• Targets mites through contact transfer
• Easy to apply strip format
• Suitable for commercial and hobbyist beekeepers
• Ideal for use in rotation with amitraz based treatments

How This Treatment Works

This treatment works by contact. As bees walk across the strips, they pick up flumethrin and spread it throughout the hive. This allows the active ingredient to reach mites on adult bees and assist in reducing the overall infestation level.

When to Use

This strip treatment is commonly used when colonies contain brood and is well suited for full colony treatments.

For best results:

• Apply during moderate mite levels
• Rotate with amitraz or oxalic acid treatments
• Follow recommended treatment duration
