We are selling an organic product, certified by BioGro NZ, called ApiLife Var, to killed the varroa mite.
ApiLife var is made in Italy and used in America, Asia and Europe for the last 15 to 20 years with great success.
We are in the market in NZ since 2005.
We have thousands of hives that are treated with our product, in the North Island, for the last 3 to 4 years, using only this product to fight against the varroa mite.
None of our beekeepers / customers are losing hives due to the varroa mites.
When Mark Goodwin tell that organic beekeeping in the North island is impossible, we have been proving him wrong since 2005.
Mark Goodwin comments about hives dying from organic treatment have been wrong for many years and he knows it but doesn't want to regonised that organic beekeeping works.
Also the largest organic beekeeper in the North Island, in the coromandel, one of our customer, doesn't loose 50% of his colony every year.
We will be glad to be interviewed by your team about of the organic way of beekeeping in NZ.
