The Varroa Controller is a device for the heat treatment of the capped bee brood, with a proven treatment of 97%.

Considering that 80% of the mites are located in the brood, this substantially reduces the Varroa numbers in a colony.

The principle of heat treatment with the Varroa Controller is based on the different heat resistances of bee brood and Varroa mites.

The capped brood frames (after brushing all adult bees) are hung into the device and heated to a temperature that is lethal to the mite while the pupae develop unharmed.

At the same time, the device automatically ensures the correct humidification and ventilation.

Unlike other hyperthermia treatments, it doesn’t treat the whole colony, which is inefficient and causes unnecessary stress for the bees trying to keep the temperature down.
