This demonstrates the effectiveness of Apivar's® controlled - release technology. Apivar Strips Save Time and Effort Apivar® is packaged in vacuum-sealed foil pouches. A single application of two strips per brood chamber is sufficient to treat a hive, so you spend less time and effort treating your bees, and there is less disruption of the bees than with many other treatments.
