Smart Beehive

The worldwide bees’ population is declining, primarily because of by the Varroa Mite, an external parasitic mite. Varroa Mites attach themselves to the bee’s body, carrying bacteria and virus infections and eventually killing the bee. Beekeepers typically fight Varroa Mites by applying dangerous chemicals with the risk of contaminating the honey and the bees. Varroa Mites are becoming increasingly resistant to several synthetics requiring beekeepers to utilise even more aggressive chemicals. Toxic residues of the chemicals might fall in the wax, where they accumulated over time. The acaricides can also reach the honey. Smart-Beehive has created a new beehive capable of eliminating the Varroa Mite without the use of chemicals and with no harm to the bees and the honey. The core of the solution is an innovative patented solution that utilises thermoregulation at a particular temperature range to remove the parasite.
