Innovative solutions for productive bees and profitable beekeeping.
Better Beekeeping
Hivesite
takes a fresh research-driven approach, re-imagining the design of
thermal treatment for beehives from the ground up, with full automation
and profitability for commercial beekeepers at its core.
We are developing a chemical-free solution for treating Varroa mite in
beehives, designed to protect bees and improve profitability of
commercial beekeepers. It treats Varroa mite by autonomously applying a
periodic thermal treatment, is easy to fit to standard Langstroth hives,
and is powered by a solar-panel top cover. With future upgrades, the
system could also support remote hive monitoring, sharing the same
base-hardware and power source.
