UBeeO

UBeeO™ is a rapid, easy-to-use field test that allows beekeepers to assess hygienic behaviour — the natural ability of bees to detect and remove unhealthy or mite-infested brood. This trait is one of the strongest indicators of a colony’s resistance to Varroa, brood diseases, and poor overwintering outcomes.

By mimicking the scent of diseased brood, UBeeO™ enables you to quickly identify which colonies actively respond — helping you make informed breeding decisions. Colonies that perform well in the UBeeO™ test are ideal candidates for queen rearing and genetic improvement, leading to healthier, more resilient stock over time.

Whether you're a hobbyist or commercial bee farmer, UBeeO™ is a powerful tool for improving apiary performance, selecting high-quality breeders, and reducing dependence on chemical treatments.
