Heat the mites.
Save the hive.
ThermaHive is a precision-controlled thermotherapy system that kills Varroa mites without chemicals, residues, or resistance, designed to work with your hive, not against it.
2026 field season: 51% average mite reduction per treatment across 49 paired mite washes. Zero treated colonies lost. See the data.

Built on everything we learned from ThermaHive V1 field testing, V2 is our most refined system yet.
Introducing ThermaHive V2
Our next-generation unit: more powerful, more precise, and built for serious beekeepers. Pre-orders are open and kits ship by January 2027.

Your hive in the middle, ThermaHive at each end
ThermaHive adds one box above your brood boxes and one frame below your screened bottom board. Everything in between stays your own standard Langstroth equipment, untouched. Nothing is drilled, and no frames come out to treat.

Already monitoring with BroodMinder?
ThermaHive wireless sensors work with your existing setup. They pair with BroodMinder products, with every V2 unit, and with existing V1 units after a firmware update. No ThermaHive system required.
The results are in
One full season, four apiaries, 20 colonies and 69 treatments logged, April to September 2026, with independent testers in North Carolina, New Jersey and Georgia running their own units on their own hives.
Program average: 51% mite reduction per treatment, measured on 49 paired mite washes read 14 to 28 days after treatment, on 16 colonies, from 69 treatments logged April to September 2026 (95% CI 31 to 65%). Five of seven research hives finished under the 2% overwintering threshold.

The future of mite treatment is heat.
Varroa mites have a lower temperature tolerance than honeybees. ThermaHive exploits that gap with precision-controlled heat, airflow, and real-time monitoring. No chemicals, no residues, no resistance.
Unlike solar or passive heat devices, ThermaHive is an active, powered system that works in any climate, any season. It plugs in at the base of your hive, treats brood and adults in place, and gives you live monitoring through wireless in-hive sensors reporting every 2 seconds, with BroodMinder app integration and full session logging to the SD card.
No chemicals enter the hive, so there is no honey-super removal requirement and no harvest waiting period. Treat and harvest on your own schedule. It is also a one-time purchase rather than a chemical you rebuy several times a year, and the only added cost is an extra unit if you treat more than one hive.
One device. Every season.
Most mite tools sit in the shed eleven months a year. ThermaHive stays on the hive and keeps working.
Spring
Gentle warming and airflow support weak colonies through cold snaps and speed early buildup.
Summer
Precision heat treatment kills Varroa in the brood, no chemicals, no frame removal. Ventilation Mode moves air on the hottest days.
Fall
A second treatment window clears mites before winter bees are raised.
Winter
Passive monitoring logs hive temperature and humidity so you know the colony is alive without cracking the lid.
Not a seasonal treatment. A year-round hive companion.
