Member - Lifehive
Lifehive’s innovative solution fights Varroa, the deadliest parasite threat to honey bees, offering a natural and effective way to protect your hives.
About
Created by father and son Willi and Pascal Brunner, Lifehive was born out of the need to take better care for their own bees from their Switzerland-based family operation with 80 hives. Searching for a non-chemical way of treating Varroa mites, Willi Brunner, a beekeeper with more than 50 years of beekeeping experience, developed the concept of embedding a heating element into the foundations of brood frames to create a «floor-heating» for the bee brood for controlling mite levels. Fast forward 10 years of prototyping, validating and developing, Lifehive is now launching a Kickstarter campaign in February 2025 to present its solution to beekeepers worldwide.
