API Life VAR is used to combat the Varroa mite.

The varroa mite shows no resistance to it and it is not harmful to the bees or to the beekeeper!! It does not contaminate the comb. It's a safe, easy to use alternative to those "Hard Chemicals".

Api-Life VAR is a thymol based miticide which is suitable for organic use. Sold in Europe for over 14 years, and has remained affective, without mite resistance. It's safe for your bees, not like nasty chemicals. Api-Life VAR is a formulation of Thymol, Eucalytol, Menthol, and Camphor. The active ingredient, Thymol, is not an essential oil but rather a purified form. The same effectiveness cannot be achieved with essential oils alone.
