Beezen was born from a simple conviction: it is possible to effectively protect people and the environment without resorting to toxic or dangerous solutions. At the crossroads of innovation, ecology, and safety, Beezen offers a new way to deal with pests, particularly the Asian hornet.
Our history
History
BeeZen Prototype
The story of Beezen begins with a very practical situation. Its inventor, Manuel Augusto, found himself faced with a hornet's nest in the eaves of his house. Like many homeowners, he was looking for an effective solution, but quickly came to the same conclusions: harsh chemicals, risky, costly, or environmentally unfriendly methods.
History
Product creation
Faced with this impasse, Manuel decides to come up with an alternative himself. From this thinking, BeeZen is born: a tool that is at once simple, ingenious, and radically different, designed to intervene remotely, safely, and without insecticides.
History
Awarded at the Lépine Competition
This innovation is quickly recognized for its originality and practical usefulness. In 2023, BeeZen receives a gold medal at the Concours Lépine, rewarding an invention born from hands-on experience and designed to solve a real-world problem.
History
Commercialization V1
Buoyed by this success at the Lépine Competition, the adventure takes on a new dimension with the launch of the first version of BeeZen on the market. The invention leaves the workshop to reach the hands of its first users, confirming the market's appetite for this eco-friendly solution. This entrepreneurial success and Manuel Augusto's ingenuity do not go unnoticed locally: the town of Montussan, proud to count this inventor among its citizens, the mayor of Montussan, Mr. Frédéric DUPIC, awards him the town's medal of honor. This symbolic distinction anchors the project in its territory while celebrating the journey made since the discovery of the initial hornet's nest.
History
Creation of V2
Always listening, Manuel returns to the drawing board to create V2 of BeeZen. The major addition of the Blockflow system strengthens the structure and optimizes usability. A direct evolution, driven by real-world use, for formidable efficiency.
Why BeeZen?
The Asian hornet has become a real scourge. An invasive species, it directly threatens bees, disrupts ecosystems, and poses a real risk to people when nests are established near homes.
BeeZen offers a completely different approach. It is not about indiscriminate extermination, but about intelligent regulation, with a tool designed to be selective, sustainable, and reusable.
Safety is at the heart of BeeZen's design. Thanks to its telescopic pole, the user can intervene at a distance of up to 4.50 meters, without direct contact with the hornets.
This distance makes it possible to:
- avoid attacks,
- significantly reduce the risk of stings,
- intervene without heavy equipment or unnecessary exposure.
BeeZen gives individuals back control of the situation, without putting them in danger.
Unlike chemical solutions that indiscriminately eliminate all insects, Beezen takes a targeted approach that respects biodiversity.
The user only takes action against observed hornets, with no impact on bees or other pollinating insects.
It is a powerful choice: protecting the environment without poisoning it.
BeeZen is based on an innovative system: Block Flow, covered by a filed patent.
This device uses the power of a household vacuum cleaner to instantly capture and neutralize pests, with no chemicals, no spraying, and no residue.
The results are immediate, controlled, and consistent, whether for one-off treatments or ongoing pest control.
BeeZen proudly embraces its Made in France identity.
The entire product is designed, developed, and manufactured near Bordeaux, with a constant commitment to quality and durability.
We use cutting-edge technologies, notably 3D printing, with robust and recyclable materials such as ABS and PETG. This choice guarantees:
- great strength,
- a long lifespan,
- a controlled environmental impact.
My ambition was simple: to transform a dangerous procedure into a safe, fast, and accessible one for everyone through mechanical ingenuity.
