Effect of HiveAlive on bees in cage trials, Italy (2012)

Results generated from short term cage trials demonstrate the following:

HiveAlive reduces Nosema ceranae Spores by 56% in 7 days
Addition of seaweed extracts to thymol improves spore reduction by 91%
Bees prefer syrup with HiveAlive added

HiveAlive Italy trial nosema

The effects of adding seaweed extracts were assessed by testing a blend with seaweed extract and without seaweed extracts.

It was found that addition of the seaweed extracts reduced Nosema spores much more effectively than the blend without the seaweed extracts.

What beekeepers think about HiveAlive

M Martel, Chelmsford, Massachusetts, USA

Mike Martel, Chelmsford, Massachusetts, USA

I am having great results with HiveAlive last winter and now this Spring. The results are dramatic, as my hives are growing like never before. Read more...

Honey Bee Vet, Northern Spain

I used 5ml of HiveAlive per 500 ml of syrup, and then repeated for 7 days, I saw real progress so now I use HiveAlive when I suspect symptoms of a weak hive. My colonies are more productive, better nourished and stronger! Read more...

Steve Irish, Apiary Manager of the Southampton & District Beekeepers' Association, UK

The bees that were previously aggressive calmed down and became a pleasure to work with. The colonies were strong in the spring and for the first time in my seven years of beekeeping we have a wonderful honey crop. Read more...

It is widely used by commercial operators in NZ including two of NZ’s largest beekeeping operations - draw your own conclusions. Also of note is that HiveAlive has been developed specifically for honey bees. Read more...

D. Kosisky, MD, USA.

I just started using HiveAlive this summer for my hives that have been hit hard by varroa and deformed wing virus. They had chalkbrood and the brood pattern was not as consistent as it had been. I noticed after two weeks of HiveAlive that the brood is more consistent and the bees seem to be building up better. Read more...

P. Little, professional beekeeper, UK.

Every one of my 300 hives survived the winter. I am extremely impressed with HiveAlive and will continue to use it for all my hives. Read more...

Beekeeper, Celtrá, Girona, Spain.

I used HiveAlive in October and February and I must say that there has been a dramatic improvement in population abundance, behaviour (very little hives have swarmed!) and spring yields. So far the outcome after using HiveAlive is positive. Read more...

Donald Tweeddale, 20,000 hives, NZ

The population increased rapidly and honey production increased. On average production per hive is approx 25% more and the hives are more consistent in production. Read more...

David Stapleton, Owner of Apitree, NZ

I am now running 1000 Langstroth hives and 300 five frame Nuc's. I've been using HiveAlive for the last two seasons and I've noticed a huge build up difference in our colonies. Also loving the longevity added to the premixed syrup as it doesn't tend to ferment for ages. Read more...
