Designed for easy use, these vacuum-sealed strips deliver a controlled release of active ingredients over six weeks, eliminating up to 99% of mites with minimal hive disruption and no significant residue. Available in multiple pack sizes, Apivar is the essential solution for maintaining strong, healthy hives. ## Description Apivar 2.0 from Mann Lake is designed for beekeepers who want varroa control that is effective, reliable, and refreshingly uncomplicated. As the latest advancement in varroa mite treatment, Apivar 2.0 is EPA-federally registered in the USA and was developed by the Véto-pharma Innovation team after years of research and hands-on beekeeper feedback. This formula gets to work when bees are active, making it a great fit for spring buildup and fall prep. Apivar 2.0 strips feature adaptable lengths that fit deep, medium, and double hive configurations, with a handy pre-cut line that makes placement between frames especially easy in Langstroth hives. The strips sit right in the brood nest, where bees naturally move and do the work for you. Available in 4, 12, and 60-strip options, Apivar 2.0 scales easily from a single backyard hive to a full-sized apiary. The application is simple. Use one strip per five frames of bees in each brood chamber and leave in place for 6 to 10 weeks. There are no temperature restrictions, and no withholding period, so honey supers can go back on as soon as the strips come out. For maximum efficacy, give the strips a quick scrape to remove wax and propolis and reposition them midway through treatment. It is a small step that keeps bee contact high and performance steady. Thoughtfully designed and easy to use, Apivar 2.0 helps keep colonies healthy and beekeepers smiling, even during mite season. Strips must be used upon opening. ## Features - NEXT GENERATION VARROA SOLUTION: Latest advancement in varroa mite treatment with EPA federal registration in the USA; developed by the Véto-pharma Innovation team through years of research and real beekeeper feedback to address modern hive challenges while supporting long-term bee colony health and longevity - ACTIVE SEASON COLONY SUPPORT: Reliable formula designed for spring and fall treatments during periods of strong bee activity; helps maintain brood nest stability while promoting balanced colony development and overall hive health when used as directed - ADAPTABLE HIVE COMPATIBILITY: Adaptable strip lengths designed to fit deep, medium, and double hive configurations; pre-cut design allows simple placement between frames in Langstroth hives for proper positioning in the brood nest across a wide range of hive setups; offered in 4, 12, and 60 strip options to match different apiary sizes - BUILT FOR HOW BEES MOVE: Placed directly in the brood area where bees naturally travel across frames; mid-period scraping of wax and propolis increases contact and effectiveness while supporting queen comfort, consistent behavior, and balanced colony activity throughout treatment - Safe & FLEXIBLE USE: Can be applied at any working temperature safe to open the hive; EPA approved at the federal level and in all states.

They are using the name **Q: If i have a hive with 2 brood boxes (10 frame langstroth), how many strips will i need to treat the hive? four?** A: yes, four **Q: I tried "hopguard ii" earlier and the odor was strong which seemed to really agitate the bees? does apivar have an odor?** A: hopguard ii is messy in this regard. apivar has no odor, not something we humans can smell at least. i'm using apivar for late summer treatment and never saw bees becoming agitated. **Q: if I use only two strips for a single brood box with 8 frames, can I keep the other strips for next year?** A: We're new at this but everything I've read about these mites is you can't treat them with the same thing back to back. For instance, we're treating them with the strips this spring, and in the fall we'll use the Apiguard. Then in the spring, can go back to the strips again if still sealed and unexpired which they shouldn't be yet. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mann Lake Apivar Strips, Mite Strips, Beetle Traps, Vacuumed Sealed, Beekeeping Essentials, Easy-to-Use, Safe & Effective, 12 Pack - Mann Lake Bee-Pro Patties, Enhanced with Pro Health Digestive Aid, Boosts Brood Production, Protein Pollen Substitute, 10 Lbs - Vita Bee Health Apiguard – Natural Varroa Mite Treatment for Honey Bee Hives – 10 x 50g Thymol Gel Trays – Easy Application, Beekeeper-Trusted, Bee-Friendly, Plant-Based Protection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/305236436-mann-lake-apivar-strips-mite-strips-beetle-traps-vacuumed-sealed](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/305236436-mann-lake-apivar-strips-mite-strips-beetle-traps-vacuumed-sealed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
