Commercial Varroa Control for Serious Operators

If you’re running dozens or hundreds of hives, varroa treatment isn’t a once-a-season afterthought — it’s a critical, recurring, expensive part of your operation. Buying small retail packs for every treatment cycle is inefficient and expensive. The Bayvarol® Strips Pack of 800 is the commercial bulk solution: one purchase covers treating 200 hives of a globally trusted, APVMA-permitted varroa miticide — the same proven product used by serious commercial beekeepers worldwide.

Bayvarol delivers reliable, effective varroa control via flumethrin — a synthetic pyrethroid that’s genuinely valuable to have in your IPM (Integrated Pest Management) rotation. Manufactured by Bayer, APVMA-permitted under PER95037, and delivered in strips that hang between brood frames for slow-release treatment. Used in rotation with oxalic acid (Api-Bioxal) and amitraz (Apivar/Apitraz), it forms the third critical chemical class needed to prevent varroa resistance and keep your colonies protected long-term.

Why Buy the 800-Pack Instead of Smaller Packs?

Pure economics. The 800-pack delivers significantly better per-strip pricing than smaller retail packs — just as bulk pricing is cheaper. For commercial beekeepers treating 50, 100, or 200+ hives twice a year, the per-strip savings add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars per season. The 800-pack covers 200 hives at 4 strips per hive — enough for one complete treatment cycle of a sizeable commercial operation, or two cycles of a 100-hive sideliner. If you’re treating fewer hives, our smaller pack sizes may suit you better; for serious commercial work, the 800-pack is the right choice.

What Makes Bayvarol Effective?

The active ingredient is flumethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid that’s highly toxic to varroa mites but safe for honey bees when used as directed. Each strip releases the active ingredient gradually over 6 to 10 weeks, giving complete brood cycle coverage — critical because varroa mites spend much of their lives hidden inside capped brood cells where short-burst treatments can’t reach them. As bees walk over the strips, they pick up traces of flumethrin and distribute it throughout the colony via grooming and trophallaxis. Mites that encounter the active ingredient die; new mites emerging from brood cells encounter it too. Result: typically 90%+ varroa knockdown per treatment cycle.

How Do I Apply Bayvarol Strips?

Bayvarol is applied as a slow-release in-hive treatment:

  • Step 1 — Remove honey supers: Bayvarol has a mandatory honey withholding period; pull all honey supers before treating
  • Step 2 — Hang the strips: insert 4 strips per brood box, between brood frames where bee traffic is highest
  • Step 3 — Leave in place: 6 to 10 weeks (covering a complete brood cycle)
  • Step 4 — Remove and dispose: remove the strips after the treatment window and dispose according to APVMA guidelines
  • Step 5 — Wait before honey production resumes: follow APVMA honey withholding periods before placing supers back.

Why Rotate Bayvarol With Other Treatments?

Resistance is the biggest threat to long-term varroa control. Using only one chemical class repeatedly allows mites to develop tolerance, which is exactly what’s happened in some overseas markets where pyrethroid-only treatment failed within a decade. A proper IPM rotation strategy uses three or four chemical classes in different cycles, preventing any single class from being overused. A strong Australian IPM rotation includes:

  • Pyrethroids: Bayvarol (flumethrin) — this product
  • Amitraz: Apivar / Apitraz
  • Organic acids: Api-Bioxal Powder or Liquid (oxalic acid)
  • Optional fourth class: formic acid products, where available

When Should I Treat With Bayvarol?

The ideal treatment windows for Bayvarol mirror most in-hive miticides:

  • Late summer / early autumn: treat after the main honey flow, before winter, when mite populations have built up over the season
  • Early spring: treat before honey supers go on, knocking back any mites that survived winter and before brood production peaks
  • Between honey flows: Bayvarol’s 6–10 week treatment window means it sits comfortably between Australian seasonal flows.

Always monitor mite levels first using sugar shake, alcohol wash, or sticky-board counts. Treat when counts exceed your IPM threshold — unnecessary treatment wastes product, accelerates resistance, and risks contaminating honey if timing slips.

Does It Require Honey Withholding?

Yes — this is the critical difference between Bayvarol and organic-acid treatments like Api-Bioxal (which has no withholding). Bayvarol requires removing honey supers before treatment and a withholding period before honey production resumes, per the APVMA permit conditions. Always check the current label and APVMA permit for exact requirements. This is why treatment timing is critical — plan Bayvarol treatments for between honey flows, giving the strips time to do their work before supers go back on for the next production cycle.

What Safety Precautions Should I Follow?

Bayvarol contains a synthetic pyrethroid and requires sensible handling:

  • Wear chemical-resistant gloves when handling and inserting strips
  • Avoid skin contact with the strips themselves — wash immediately if it happens
  • Wash your hands thoroughly after handling strips, before eating or drinking
  • Store in original sealed container in a cool, dry place — keep away from children, pets, and food
  • Dispose of used strips according to APVMA guidelines — do not place in regular household waste
  • Do NOT use simultaneously with other in-hive miticides — rotation requires distinct treatment cycles

Do I Need to Keep Treatment Records?

Yes — APVMA Permit PER95037 requires record-keeping for a minimum of 2 years. Records must include:

  • Date of treatment
  • Location and identification of hives treated
  • Quantity of product used (number of strips)
  • Date strips were removed from hives
  • Names and addresses of persons performing treatment — records must be available for APVMA or state department inspection on request

Who Is This 800-Pack For?

This commercial bulk pack is built specifically for serious beekeepers managing large numbers of hives. It’s especially valuable for commercial beekeepers running 100+ hives needing efficient bulk treatment, large sideliners managing 30–100 hives through one or two treatment seasons, queen breeders maintaining multiple breeder and mating colonies, migratory beekeepers needing varroa control during pollination contracts, and beekeeping co-operatives pooling treatment purchases across multiple members. If you’re a hobbyist with 1–10 hives, see our smaller Bayvarol pack sizes instead.

Plato's view of the creation of the world
Format: Paperback
A cosmology is a narrative concerning the creation of the universe. Many ancient philosophers have written or elaborated this kind of work. The Platonic dialogue Timeus is an account of the work of the creator god (called the demiurge - or artisan) sculpting the chaotic material world in accordance with the immaterial model of the Ideas. But the text was written in a very hermetic and symbolic language, making its interpretation difficult or even impossible without the knowledge of the references and symbols used by Plato. This book is a complete translation of the text followed by a comprehensive commentary explaining in detail every passage. Francis MacDonald Cornford is one of the most important ancient philosophy scholars, and this work reveals his deep knowledge of Platonic and Greek thought. It is a must have for anyone interested in greek and Platonic philosophy.

Joy restored!
Format: Paperback
Now, to be honest, I've been a John & Stasi Eldredge reader for a long time. I love their books and their writing styles. But more than their skills with language is their transparency and candor. If you get the chance to meet them, you'll see that who they are in person is just how they portray themselves in their books. They're honest. They're kind--both with themselves and with others and they're consistently dedicated to telling the truth--no hype. No bait and switch. Now, to Defiant Joy. This is a book for those who have lost joy. This is a book for those who have been blinded to the subtle creep of disappointment and cynicism that has tragically become the filter through which they see life. Let's be honest. Life can really suck sometimes. And it's both understandable and inevitable that joy is harder and harder to find...much less experience. Stasi has lived enough life to understand that condition. She shares her own struggles and disappointments--all of which give her credibility when she invites her readers to consider seeking joy in the midst of less than joyful circumstances. "Defiant Joy" is a fitting title for those who don't want to give up yet; who don't want to give in to resignation. And that's the invitation Stasi gently offers--there is another option beside resignation, cynicism, depression and disillusionment. Joy! Who would have thought? Stasi writes like she talks. Reading her work is like sitting down with a good friend for an honest and frank conversation about what really matters. She's the kind of friend we all long to have--one who tells us what we need to hear instead of what we want to hear; one who tells us the truth, even when we've lost hope of ever finding it. You won't find any relativism or warm-fuzzy self-talk. This is not a self-help book. Stasi has suffered too much to offer simplistic answers to some of the most difficult questions. I highly recommend this book. It's on my suggested reading list for the community I lead. Stasi is one battle-experienced traveler who's offering other weary travelers hope for the journey ahead. I'll bet money you'll discover joy again.

You can experience joy!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
What is joy? How does it compare to happiness? From where does joy come? How can we experience joy every day despite the pain and sorrow that we all experience? Stasi Eldredge writes honestly and poignantly from places of pain and sorrow in her own life - but doesn't leave us there. She leads us into hope, into beauty and into a new depth of life in God. She teaches us how to cultivate joy in really practical - and achievable - ways. I was especially struck by her walking through St. Patrick's Breastplate - an ancient prayer - and how I can turn from a place of failure and shame based on my performance to the King and His character and hide myself in Him. "I need mercy, and I know it. In that knowing comes a great gift. I turn my heart again to my kind and understanding God and confess to Him that I need mercy. His answer swamps my heart with a too-good-to-be-true reality that leads to a crumbling of hopelessness and shame. My self-loathing collapses into His love. My self-condemnation melts into His arms that welcome and soothe. I have blown it. The blowing now has become the wind of the Holy Spirit. Ruah is here. His breath shepherds my heart into my Father's, and there mercy triumphs over judgment." I encourage you to read this book. God will use it to restore your soul, to bring water to your dry and weary soul, and to help you find rest in His strong arms. You will not feel condemned, but encouraged. I found hope in its pages.

Excellent, inspirational, challenging
Format: Kindle
Stasi doesn't just support her vision that God wants us live joyously with scripture, she acknowledges the challenges to that, the pain we experience in life, and then gives us practical advice for applying God's love through those times to become deeper, better, more loving individuals on the other side. I wish I had read this book before my Daddy was called home, but I guess I wouldn't have been the same person if I hadn't experienced that pain alone. Defiant Joy leads you beyond surface Christianity and challenges you to see God more closely.
