Seems I must add my $.02 about the Apistan prices : In Belgium we have 2 (two)
prices for the Apistan strips
 
the first is a price accorded by the apicultural associations at its members
and it is the price described by Hugo : about $21 by a 10 strips package.
I think there is a federal (govermental) or european  participation in it !
 
the second is a public price at the beekeeping shops which is higher : for
one package of 10 strips : BEF 995.- (with VAT 12%) = about $32
 
Thus ...
