ApiVera Hive Wash

A safer, oxidant-based wash for cleaner, healthier hives. ApiVera Hive Wash is a non-toxic, oxidant-based wash designed to safely clean hive components, tools, and equipment without harming bees, brood, or beekeepers. Inspired by the same oxidative chemistry bees use naturally to protect their colonies, Hive Wash helps reduce pathogen pressure and biofilm buildup while breaking down into benign, nutrient-compatible byproducts.

Unlike harsh disinfectants or residues that can linger in wax and wood, ApiVera Hive Wash delivers effective cleaning with colony-safe chemistry while supporting healthier hives and better outcomes across the season.
