The Problem

Invisible mites
ruin a whole year's harvest

Varroa destructor is the biggest parasite threatening the global beekeeping industry.

Why don't existing methods work?

⏱️

Over 30 minutes to inspect a single hive

Practically impossible for farms with dozens of hives

👀

Nearly impossible to spot by eye

Tiny size + camouflage → even harder for older farmers

☀️

Easy to miss the 2-week summer window

Hard to judge treatment timing in hot conditions

💸

About $15K (₩20M) lost per year per 150 colonies

Honey yield −40% + treatment cost +30%
