APITOL is produced by Vita (Europe) Limited, UK. It's a systemic
varroacide which is either diluted in water and sprinkled over the bees
or else can be mixed in with the sugar syrup winter feed.
 
Efficacy is generally in the 90's but rarely as consistant as APISTAN at
97-98%. It's a good product for rotation with Apistan as it has a
completely different mode of action to pyrethroids.
 
We have registrations in several countries and the product is being used
as one of the products in our IPM strategies to slow down the evolution
of varroa resistance to pesticides.
 
If you want more information please feel free to drop me a line.
