NOD Apiary Products Ltd. is a Canadian company formed in 1997 by beekeepers in Canada. Honeybee health is our focus. NOD has been awarded the Premier's Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence, 2006, Innovation Project of the Year, 2008 and Agri Business of the Year, 2011. The founders of NOD saw formic acid as the active ingredient most likely to be able to be developed into a practical, sustainable miticide for the beekeeping industry. Properly formulated, it could control the varroa and tracheal mites, protect the image of honey as a wholesome food, and leave no residues in the hive components. NOD’s formic acid applications and other beekeeping products have been available in the American and Canadian markets since 2005. Since 2008 NOD has been working towards registering their formic gel strips, MAQS, in Europe. In February 2013, NOD gained VMD Marketing Authorization for MAQS in the United Kingdom. By the summer of 2014 NOD had subsequently gained Mutual Recognition in a series of countries within the European Union; Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain and Slovenia. More are expected to registered by year end. Desperate Times: Honey bees are in trouble. Around the world the varroa mites have developed resistance to conventional products. NOD is in the process of taking its products into the world marketplace to meet the need. NOD has developed and sells other bee protection products: the Bee Cozy, a winter wrap, and the Bee Brief™, a grab, drop and go nucleus colony box for quick queen rearing and introduction.
