Why choose VarroMed to treat varroosis in bees?

Varroa: a major threat to bee colonies

Varroa destructor remains the leading enemy of bee colonies today. This parasite weakens adult bees and the brood. It also promotes the transmission of viruses.

Without appropriate treatment, the colony can collapse within a few months. Varroosis is therefore a major health issue in beekeeping.

What is VarroMed?

VarroMed is a veterinary medicine intended for the treatment of varroa in bees.

It combines two active substances:

• Oxalic acid
• Formic acid

This combination provides effective action against phoretic varroa mites. The product works even in the presence of brood, under suitable conditions of use.

VarroMed comes as a ready-to-use liquid solution. No mixing is required. This reduces dosing errors.

Why is VarroMed important for beekeepers?

A regulated and safe treatment

VarroMed is an authorised veterinary medicine. It complies with European regulations.

Its controlled use reassures beekeepers about:

• the safety of the bees
• the absence of problematic residues
• health compliance

On Produits-Veto.com, we offer VarroMed in compliance with the distribution rules for veterinary medicines.

The causes and challenges of varroosis

Varroa reproduces in capped brood. It weakens the larvae.

It then attaches itself to adult bees. It feeds on their haemolymph.

Consequences:

• reduced vitality
• shorter longevity
• viral transmission
• winter colony collapse

Regular treatment remains essential to keep the infestation level low.
