Features and Benefits
A smart choice for your beekeeping journey
-
Chemical-free heat treatment for healthier bees and hive products
Heating elements in the frames act like a «floor heating» for brood cells, applying precise, controlled heat at 42 °C (108 °F) for three-hour intervals to eradicate Varroa mites. This patented treatment keeps your bees, wax, and honey safe from contaminants while offering a natural solution for mite control.
-
Year-Round Protection with Automated, Reinfestation-Proof Treatments
Managing Varroa infestations often requires regular manual interventions, leading to potential stress on the hive and beekeeper. Lifehive’s fully automated, reinfestation-proof system gives you peace of mind and ensures healthier hives year-round.
-
Targeted application to protect your queen, drones and worker bees
Lifehive’s heat treatment is precisely targeted to disrupt the Varroa reproduction cycle. Machine learning algorithms continuously monitor hive conditions and apply treatments only to brood frames with capped cells, keeping the hive environment balanced and safe for all bees.
-
Power options with solar and grid compatibility
Enjoy consistent hive protection in any location at no additional cost with Lifehive’s in- built solar and grid-powered options. Designed to adapt to urban, rural and remote settings, these power options ensure continuous operation.
-
Scientifically Validated and Demonstrated on Large Farms
Over 50 years of beekeeping experience, 10 years of company history, a published scientific paper and more than 500 installed hives on commercial, large-scale operations worldwide confirm that Lifehive provides effective and trusted mite control for any beekeeping environment.
Product Features
High quality materials
We use quality wood, UV-resistant plastic and stainless-steel connectors for both brood chamber and frames to ensure a long-living and sturdy product.
Reliable connection
Our patent-protected, field-proven, saw-profiled clamping mechanism makes sure to keep all your frames connected, cutting through even thick layers of wax, dirt, honey and propolis.
Handles on all four sides
We’ve got you covered out in the fields. Handles on all four sides of the box facilitate moving, lifting and working with your equipment.
Standard dimensions
Our equipment seamlessly integrates into your operation. Both brood chamber and frames follow Langstroth deep dimensions and can be used together with standard equipment.
You can even run the heatable frames through your extraction line, if you prefer to draw them out in your honey supers.
