Not separately wrapped, will open all 10 at once.
I am new to this... and I have 2 hives so needed 4. Bought this size thinking that it was cheaper to go ahead and buy the next 4 I'll need for spring while I'm at it and save money. Uh, wrong. All ten are in one package, so opening the package exposes/deminishes efficacy of all of them the minute the package is opened, like a pack of hot dogs. *Just buy what you need, there is no good way to guarantee they will last once opened, so instead of saving $20, I lost $20*

Good product as part of an IPM program (don't overuse it)
Needed this to wipe out the miserable varroa mites that harass our bees. I'm not nuts about chemicals in the hive, but with brood oxalic acid is not a good treatment. This stuff works well as part of an integrated pest management program. our hives are very healthy. AND Mann Lake is good supplier, we've been buying from them for years.

Easy and quick acting.
I didn't do a bee wash after I treated with these strips. But did have a mite board on my two hives. And the first 24 hours after putting these strips in my mite boards were just littered with mites, hundreds of them. I'm 100% confadent, if my bees don't make it through the winter, it won't be because of a might problem. Also, I've heard of bees getting temperamental with mite treatment and I haven't noticed and change in my bees temperament.

Recently reviewed by the University of Florida and found to be the only chemical treatment for varoa mites that really works. That's it short & simple. Does not include what is considered organic treatments

Saved our bees from the pesky varroa mites. In approx 3 weeks we only saw dead mites and none were on bees.May not be worth buying a 10 pack as we now have 8 strips and hopefully never going to use them again ( unlikely though, the mites always find a way )

Easy to use, works as expected.
I used these on my two hives which had 60 mites/300 bees between the two of them, and after a month my mite count was 0/300 bees. Crossing my fingers they make it through the winter now. Easy to use, though they are designed for deeps, so if you have an all-medium hive like I do you have to bend them a little bit to fit. I actually found that to be more helpful though and left more space for the bees to walk on them.
