In a collaborative study published on June 2, 2025, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), SteraMist® ionized hydrogen peroxide (iHP) was shown to significantly inactivate Deformed Wing Virus (DWV), a primary driver of colony loss, particularly DWV strains A and B. The paper, "Deformed wing virus of honeybees is inactivated by cold plasma ionized hydrogen peroxide," highlights SteraMist's unique ability to reduce overt viral infection in hive substrates, offering a practical and non-toxic approach to protecting bee populations.
