This Beehive Might Kill Varroa! First Look at Europe’s Organic Solution

Could this be the breakthrough beekeepers have been waiting for? 🐝🔥

In this video, we take a first look at an innovative new beehive from Europe designed to combat the Varroa mite using solar thermal control — no chemicals, no treatments. By slightly raising the hive’s internal temperature, this system allows bees to thrive while disrupting the mite’s lifecycle.

If it performs as claimed, this could be a game-changing organic solution for beekeepers dealing with Varroa — especially in Australia, where the threat is growing fast.
