ApiSave Bee Health Sciences Inc. is an agritech company developing natural, botanical extracts to improve honey bee health, enhance colony resilience against diseases and pests, and provide residue-free alternatives to synthetic treatments.
ApiSave Bee Health Sciences Inc. is a Canadian biotechnology and agritech company based in British Columbia that specializes in developing natural, plant-based botanical extracts to improve honey bee health and colony resilience. The company’s flagship product, ApiSave™, is a hops-based botanical extract designed to boost the immune systems of bees without introducing harmful residues, thereby protecting pollinators from environmental threats, bacterial diseases like American and European foulbrood, and parasitic varroa mites. Previously operating as Nature Recombined Sciences, the company shifted its focus entirely to apiculture to address the critical global issue of honey bee colony collapse, aiming to provide safer alternatives to synthetic pesticides and excessive antibiotic use.
The company's technology is significant for beekeepers, stakeholders, and the broader agricultural sector, as it offers a residue-free solution that supports bee well-being while maintaining honey quality for consumers. ApiSave has received federal approval in Canada for its initial health-boosting product as a veterinary health product (VHP) and is actively pursuing further research and regulatory pathways for potential pesticide applications. The company has gained industry support from organizations such as the Canadian Honey Council and the Alberta Beekeepers Commission, and it continues to advance its mission through ongoing field trials, research publications, and participation in agritech investment platforms like Startup TNT and Natural Products Canada.
