TOMI Environmental Solutions, under the ticker TOMZ, has announced promising breakthroughs in addressing the critical issue of honeybee colony collapse. A joint study with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, published on June 2, 2025, reveals that SteraMist ionized hydrogen peroxide effectively neutralizes Deformed Wing Virus (DWV), a primary factor in bee population decline. The research highlights SteraMist's capability to mitigate viral infections in hive environments, providing a non-toxic solution for safeguarding bees.
The study, titled “Deformed wing virus of honeybees is inactivated by cold plasma ionized hydrogen peroxide,” showcases the technology's potential to significantly reduce viral threats, particularly in DWV strains A and B. Pollinators like honeybees play a crucial role in maintaining the nation's food supply. The USDA continues to explore new methods to address the challenges posed by parasitic Varroa mites. TOMI's innovative approach with SteraMist presents a promising avenue for enhancing the resilience of honeybee colonies.
