Apivar is applied in the same way as Apistan, viz. plastic strips.
These strips however must be placed between the brood combs in order
to free the active component (amitraz)

Apivar has been distributed in Belgium by official bee organizations
since
there are (supposed to be) fluvalinate resistant mites in some parts of
Europe ,
i.e in 1998 en 1999.  This year we should combine it with another
product
(perizine - cumaphos) that has te be applied in autumn.
I  used Apivar  in 1998 en 1999, but this year I 'll stick to  Apistan,
as  Apivar
doesn't seem to be efficient.

Apivar is also used in France.
