Bayvarol Strips Pack of 800

Commercial-Scale Varroa Management: Bayvarol Strips Pack of 800

The Bayvarol Strips Pack of 800 is a bulk-format Varroa treatment designed for beekeepers managing larger numbers of honey bee colonies. Containing flumethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, the strips are designed for use against flumethrin-sensitive Varroa destructor mites according to the applicable Australian directions.

Available from OZ Armour, this commercial-size pack contains 800 strips, with the current product listing stating that it can treat approximately 200 hives when used at four strips per hive. 

Bulk Supply for Larger Apiaries

The 800-strip format is intended for beekeepers who manage substantial numbers of colonies and need a larger quantity for their Varroa management program. At the listed application rate of four strips per brood chamber, the pack provides enough strips for approximately 200 hives.

For smaller operations, smaller Bayvarol pack sizes may be more practical. The appropriate application rate should always be determined from the current approved directions.

Flumethrin-Based Varroa Control

Each strip contains 3.6 mg of flumethrin. The active ingredient belongs to the synthetic pyrethroid class and is used for controlling susceptible Varroa mites in honey bee colonies.

Using treatments responsibly and rotating different modes of action can be an important consideration when developing an integrated Varroa management program, particularly where resistance is a concern.

Designed for Brood-Chamber Placement

The current product information specifies four strips per brood chamber, with two strips for young colonies or swarms. The strips are positioned between frames where bees regularly move, allowing contact with the treated material.

Always follow the current approved product directions for placement, treatment duration, removal and disposal.

Important Australian Use Requirements

The current OZ Armour listing states that this product can be purchased in NSW and ACT only and should not be used during peak honey-flow periods. It also specifies storage below 25°C.

As this is a regulated veterinary chemical, check the current Australian label and applicable permit conditions before purchasing or applying the product.
