Back to the beginning...
Our story began in 1997, when Canadian beekeepers sought solutions to protect their hives and ensure the health of their honey bees.
The founders at NOD saw formic acid as the active ingredient most likely to be developed into a practical, sustainable miticide for the beekeeping industry. Properly formulated, it could control varroa and tracheal mites and potentially tropilaelaps mites while protecting the image of honey as a wholesome food and leaving no residue in the hive.
NOD Apiary Products Ltd. continues to aid the developing apiculture industry by producing all-natural and sustainable honey bee health products. Formic Pro is designed as formic acid polysaccharide gel strips, which, when placed in the brood chamber of a honey bee hive, act as an organic miticide that kills the varroa mite where it reproduces, under the brood cap.
