This ratio is based on colony size, not hive count, so a stronger colony needs more strips than a smaller one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow long do I leave Apivar 2.0 strips in the hive?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeave strips in place for 6 to 10 weeks. For best contact with mites, scrape off wax and propolis and reposition the strips in the brood area at the midpoint of treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan I use Apivar 2.0 with honey supers on the hive?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupers should be off during active treatment.
