A world with bees

Our mission is to empower beekeepers with the best protection against bee losses, through environmentally positive innovation.

Founded in 2016 by Pascal and Willi Brunner under the name Vatorex, Lifehive combines more than 50 years of beekeeping experience with an innovative outlook toward beekeeping.

What began as an exploration of effective and environmentally positive methods of varroa control, Lifehive has become a paradigm shift for commercial beekeeping.

After multiple product generations, rigourous scientific testing and successful commercial trials, Lifehive is proud to present the world’s first varroa exterminating brood chamber.
