Varroa mite reached Australia in 2022. By the time you see the symptoms, the colony is gone. Wild Echo detects hive stress acoustically, before collapse. No hive opening. No expensive equipment. Just answers.
🎙️ Analyse My Hive Now How It WorksVarroa destructor is the most destructive honeybee pest in the world. It arrived in NSW in 2022 and has been spreading ever since. Australia's $14.2 billion pollination-dependent agriculture industry is at risk. Most beekeepers have no early detection system.
Hold your phone or a sensor near the hive entrance. Record the hive sound. No special equipment needed, your phone mic works.
Wild Echo analyses the dominant wingbeat frequency, amplitude variance, and spectral signature. Healthy hives hum at 230 to 280Hz. Stressed hives shift higher. Queenless colonies show elevated panic patterns.
Healthy, Varroa-stressed, or queenless, with confidence score and recommended action. Share the report with your vet or inspector.
Varroa reached Australia in 2022 and it's spreading. By the time you see symptoms, the colony is gone. Wild Echo detects Varroa stress acoustically, from a single 60-second recording at the hive entrance. No hive opening. No expensive equipment. The world's first phone-based Varroa early warning system.
Hives make a distinct "piping" sound 24-48 hours before they swarm. Wild Echo detects this acoustically and alerts you before you lose the colony. No other product does this commercially.
Track your hive's acoustic health score over 30 days. Rising stress score = act now. Stable green = leave it. Like a Fitbit for your colony, check it the way you check the weather.
Every Wild Echo recording contributes to a live national map of Varroa stress across Australia. Real-time acoustic surveillance at national scale, a genuine world first.
