- Simple application - strips are placed directly on the top bars of frames
- Natural origin of the active substance compatible with organic beekeeping

Dosage and application method:
Use 1 sachet (2 strips) per colony. The strips are placed flat in the lower brood chamber on top of the frames. Do not remove the paper wrapper from the strips!
