dear colleagues,
 
Here's my contribution to the price of Apistan debate:
 
In Holland, it is now a legalised anti Varroa treatment and is sold in our national beekeepers assn.( VBBN) shop, for 45 guilders( about US$ 23) per pack of ten strips.
 
So far , we've seen following approximated prices per pack
of 10 strips:
                             US$:
 
CYPRUS( Andreas Kasenides): "too high"
BELGIUM      ( Hugo Thone):  21
CANADA       (Kerry Clark):  16
FINLAND    (Seppo Korpela):  45
HOLLAND    (Hugo Veerkamp):  23
 
A mean of US$ 26.25 follows, with rather large fluctuations; now we all know about the expensiveness of Apistan in our own country..
 
sincerely, Hugo
