Apiphos Hive Pest Control Strips

🔥 Powerful Slow-Release Hive Pest Control Strips

Apiphos is a fiber strip used for hive pest control in beekeeping. Traditional hive pests such as bee mites and small hive beetles are a nightmare for beekeepers.  Apiphos sustained-release strip works inside the brood box for at least 4 weeks. It disrupts parasite neural systems and helps lower Varroa mite and Tropilaelaps mite pressure quickly. 

⏳ Rotate Your Bee Mite Treatments Across the Seasons

Apiphos contains coumaphos, a substance used for bee mite treatment. The United States, Canada, Russia, Europe, and other countries accept this ingredient for bee mites. We can use it seasonally and alternately.

🐞 Small Bee Hive Beetle Treatment

Dark corners are favorite hiding places for small bee hive beetles. How do you get rid of bee hive beetles? One of the few chemical pesticides that kills beetles in bee hives is Apiphos.  You can use it to create a straightforward trap that will kill them.

【Dosage and Administration】
Used for Varroa Treatment:

1. Apply Apiphos strips when brood rearing is at its lowest, and do not use them when you have set honey supers.
2. The effects of a single application last for 4 to 6 weeks.  Hang 1 strip for every 5 frames of bees in the brood box. Suspend it between brood frames so that bees can move on both sides.
3. At the end of treatment, remove each strip. After removing the strips, don't put any honey supers back on the hive for at least 14 days.

Used to Set a Small Hive Beetle Trap:

1. To treat hives for beetles, you need to wait until bees aren't making a huge amount of honey. Be sure you have taken off all honey supers first.
2. One application can maintain efficacy for 4 to 6 weeks. Cut one strip in half and attach the two halves to a 5-inch by 5-inch (12.7cm x 12.7cm) corrugated cardboard. 

3. Position the cardboard square on the bottom board such that its strip side is facing down. Set it in the middle. We recommend covering the smooth side of the cardboard with duct tape to keep bees from chewing through and removing the trap.

Before applying Apiphos to the whole apiary, choose 2 or 3 bee colonies to try out. Watch them for 24 to 48 hours to figure out the right dosage schedule. It is best to do a trial on a clear morning so that it is easy to see how your bee colony is reacting. Based on the results of your trial, you can change the dosage as needed. You can add or remove strips based on how many hives you have and how bad your mite problem is.

Apiphos Safety Guidelines:

You must wear nitrile or rubber gloves. Never use leather or cloth gloves, as they will absorb the toxin and penetrate your skin. Wear long sleeves and pants and do not smoke, eat, or rub your eyes while you are handling the medication.

If you accidentally come into contact with it on your skin. Wash your skin with soap and plenty of cold water for 15 minutes.  Consult a doctor right away if you feel pinpoint pupils, nausea, blurred vision, or drooling.  Don't forget to take a photo of the packaging. Make it known to the doctor that you have come into contact with coumaphos and will need atropine treatment.
