Clean. Safe. Smart. The future of hive health

ThermaHive™ vs Existing Solutions

Problem: Narrow safety margin

The temperature needed to kill mites is only a few degrees below the temperature that harms bees, brood, or reproductive viability.

ThermaHive’s Approach + Precision control

ThermaHive™ uses sensor-driven automation and calibrated heating to maintain temperatures safely within the narrow “sweet spot.”

Problem: Adult bee mortality

Bees may tolerate moderate heat or airflow, but stressed adults often leave the hive to die elsewhere, masking true mortality.

ThermaHive’s Approach + Stress-reducing design

Even airflow reduces hot spots and colony stress, minimizing evacuation during treatment.

Problem: Incomplete mite kill followed by rebound

Short treatments may reach only 40–55% mortality; infestations rebound within 1–2 weeks.

ThermaHive’s Approach + In-hive, sustained suppression

ThermaHive™ treats brood and adults, reducing re-infestation and allowing repeatable cycles.

Problem: Mite escape

Bees bearding or exiting during heat can carry mites out and back in.

ThermaHive’s Approach + Contained system

Fan-driven circulation keeps bees inside so mites on adults are also exposed.

Problem: Humidity complications

Too little humidity desiccates; too much reduces adult survival.

ThermaHive’s Approach + Balanced environment

Real-time monitoring keeps humidity in survivable ranges.

Problem: Overheating risk

Lack of control can create hot spots, have uneven airflow and harm brood.

ThermaHive’s Approach + Multi-sensor failsafe

Redundant probes and shutoffs help prevent hot spots. Our custom built diffuser plate helps ensure even airflow and heat distribution.

Problem: Long treatment durations & labor

Some methods require 4–8 hours or moving frames—stressful and impractical.

ThermaHive’s Approach + Efficient heating

Optimized airflow/power shortens cycles; in-hive use avoids frame removal.

Problem: Dependence on conditions

Solar-dependent devices are unreliable in poor weather.

ThermaHive’s Approach + All-weather capability

Powered heating works in any climate and season.
