HEADS UP fellow beekeepers if you have used this product!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Using Apivar® 2.0? Here's what Véto-pharma recommends right now. 🐝

Véto-pharma has shared an official update about reports of adult bee losses and colonies absconding after treatment in some U.S. apiaries. They are investigating and have found no manufacturing defect or batch issue so far.

✅ Test on a few colonies first
✅ Separate double strips and use 1 strip per 5 frames covered with bees
✅ Keep hives ventilated, especially in hot, humid weather
✅ Watch colonies closely in the first hours and days after treatment

📩 If you have seen unexpected effects, report them to [email protected]. Your field reports help find answers faster.

These are observations, not conclusions. Always follow the approved product label.
