Take Control of Varroa: Bayvarol Strips Pack of 20 for Australian Beekeepers
The Bayvarol Strips Pack of 20 provides a practical treatment option for managing flumethrin-sensitive Varroa mites in honey bee colonies. Each strip contains flumethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid used for Varroa control, and the strips work through contact as bees move around the hive.
Available from OZ Armour, this pack is intended for Australian beekeepers who need a recognised Varroa management product for approved use. Always check the current product label and applicable Australian requirements before purchasing or using any veterinary chemical.
Targeted Varroa Mite Management
Bayvarol Strips are designed specifically for the control of Varroa destructor on European honey bees. The active ingredient, flumethrin, is carried through the colony as bees come into contact with the treated strips.
The product is intended for flumethrin-sensitive mites, so monitoring and responsible treatment selection remain important parts of an overall Varroa management program. Repeated or inappropriate use of products with the same mode of action can contribute to resistance.
Pack of 20 Strips
Each pack contains 20 impregnated strips, providing a convenient quantity for beekeepers managing one or more colonies. The product information specifies four strips for a full brood chamber and two for a young colony or swarm. Always follow the current approved label for application rate, placement and treatment duration rather than relying on general guidance.
Important Australian Use Information
The current product listing states that Bayvarol Strips can be purchased in NSW and ACT only. Before ordering, check that the product is permitted for your location and intended use.
Bayvarol Strips should not be used during peak honey flow periods, and users should follow all label directions concerning handling, storage and treatment. The product should be stored below 25°C as specified by the listing.
For regulated agricultural and veterinary chemicals, the APVMA advises users to check registration and label information before purchasing or using a product. (APVMA)
