How Apistan works
As bees’ legs come into contact with the strip containing Apistan, they pick up a minute amount of the active ingredient, which is replaced by a similar minute quantity from within the strip. When the bees interact within the hive, the active ingredient is shared among the colony, so the whole hive is protected.
