Vatorex is now Lifehive
Introducing the world’s first varroa exterminating brood chamber.
An effective and reliable solution to Varroa infestation. Grow strong and productive honey bee colonies by harnessing the power of heat.
Revolutionizing varroa control
The Lifehive is a brood chamber that uses a system of individually heated brood combs to eradicate Varroa. As mites reproduce and develop within brood cells, heating each comb to 42°c provides ample thermal exposure to successfully kill Varroa and stop the cycle of infestation.

Lifehives provide consistant varroa protection by maintaining repeat treatment schedules. Integrating into a hive like a regular brood box, Lifehives are compatible with both Langstroth and Dadant styles.
