Product Specifications

Designed for Easy Folding & Hive Placement

Beequip Cardboard Treatment Strips feature two convenient creases that allow the cardboard to be folded for hanging between beehive frames.

The pre-creased design makes preparing the cardboard material more convenient and helps eliminate the need for additional cutting or folding guides.

The high-density cardboard provides an absorbent surface for compatible liquid applications.

Please Note: Appropriate strip preparation, placement, quantity, and treatment duration must be established by an applicable approved product label or authorized protocol. The strips themselves do not establish a safe or effective treatment dosage.

Intended for Oxalic Acid & Glycerin Applications

These cardboard strips are marketed for use with oxalic acid and glycerin preparations.

Oxalic acid is an active ingredient used in certain authorized Varroa mite treatments for honey bees. Glycerin is used in some strip-based formulations as a carrier.

Beequip Cardboard Treatment Strips provide the untreated absorbent material only.

Oxalic acid and glycerin are sold separately.

Important Canadian Regulatory Notice: Not all homemade oxalic acid and glycerin strip formulations or application methods are approved for use in Canadian honey bee colonies. Beekeepers must verify that their intended formulation and use are legally authorized before preparing or applying a pesticide treatment.

Available Package Sizes

Both package options contain the same pre-creased, high-density cardboard strips.

Why Is Varroa Mite Management Important?

Varroa mites (Varroa destructor) are external parasites that can weaken honey bee colonies and contribute to the spread of harmful viruses.

Effective Varroa mite management includes:

• Regular mite monitoring.

• Maintaining strong, healthy honey bee colonies.

• Following seasonal treatment recommendations.

• Using legally authorized treatment products and application methods.

• Evaluating mite levels before and after treatment.

• Following guidance from provincial apiculture specialists.

The correct treatment strategy depends on colony conditions, seasonal timing, local regulations, and current Varroa mite levels.
