Eco Hive is an automated system for controlling Varroa, one of the biggest threats to honey bee colonies.
The system uses formic acid, a naturally occurring organic treatment, and delivers it through specially designed evaporators placed inside the hive.Instead of applying the treatment manually and repeatedly, Eco Hive controls the evaporation process over an extended period, helping maintain a more consistent treatment environment throughout the hive.The system consists of a central control unit, evaporators and a solar panel.
A single central unit can control up to 50 evaporators, allowing multiple hives to be treated simultaneously. Once the system is installed and activated, the treatment process runs automatically, reducing the beekeeper's workload and the need for frequent intervention.
By combining beekeeping knowledge with automation and technology, Eco Hive makes Varroa treatment simpler, more controlled and less time-consuming — while supporting beekeepers who want to maintain an organic approach to hive management.
