Beehives of the future

Innovation in beekeeping:  ECO Hive fighting against varroosis

In the world of beekeeping, the dangerous Varroa mite is one of the most difficult challenges beekeepers face because it severely jeopardizes bee colonies. Thanks to the innovative approach of the company ECO Hive, beekeepers now have a powerful ally in their effort to fight against this mite, preserving their hives, but also complying with ecological standards.

Ecological anti-Varroa beehive

ECO Hive is led by Nikola Teomirović, a young director and visionary, who experienced the challenges of beekeeping firsthand. Inspired by the family tradition that goes back nearly half a century, he decided to find a solution to the Varroa mite problem. Based on his knowledge in the field of electrical engineering acquired in high school, Teomirović managed to combine science and tradition, creating an ecological anti-Varroa beehive. This innovative device is simply installed on existing beehives and eradicates Varroa mites with an impressive efficiency rate of over 95%, while ensuring organic honey production.

Teomirović recognized the need for a sustainable solution that would help beekeepers protect their bees without using harmful chemical substances. After years of research and development, an anti-Varroa beehive, which applies advanced technological methods to eliminate Varroa mites, was created. This device not only improves the health of bee colonies, but also contributes to the preservation of the natural ecosystem.

“Varroa mite is a problem for all beekeepers, and I wanted to find a solution that would be environmentally friendly and efficient. Our anti-Varroa beehive achieves precisely that”, Teomirović points out. Thanks to this innovation, beekeepers can rest assured that their products will remain completely organic and their bees healthy and productive.

Support for young innovation

Nikola Teomirović also advocates for education and support for young innovators. Leading by his example, he wants to show that it is possible to combine traditional knowledge with modern technologies in order to achieve exceptional results. He believes that young people have the potential to bring about great change and encourages them to explore, learn and develop their ideas.

With the support of the European Union with grants provided through the Innovation Fund program, ECO Hive managed to place its product on the market in just one year. The Fund not only provides financial assistance, but also advisory and professional support that helps start-ups to successfully implement their projects.

Teomirović encourages young innovators not to give up on their dreams, regardless of the statistics that suggest that only a small percentage of people become successful in entrepreneurship. “If you have an idea, present it to the Innovation Fund. You may not develop that idea right away, but you will gain valuable knowledge that can help you in the future”, says this young entrepreneur.

Thanks to the support provided by the Fund and the EU, ECO Hive was able to develop its device within a year, avoiding common rookie mistakes.

“Without the support of the Innovation Fund, our journey would have been much more difficult. Their financial and advisory assistance enabled us to achieve our goal and offer a product that helps beekeepers all over the world”, concludes Teomirović.

ECO Hive is an example of how innovation, commitment and support of the community can lead to the creation of a product that not only solves a problem, but also inspires future generations of entrepreneurs.
