The kit is designed for the beginner beekeeper who is just learning to care for bees and has a few hives near their home. This beginner’s kit will help avoid common mistakes in beekeeping, and minimize financial losses.
With this kit, you will understand the essential principles of bee colony development and confidently grow your apiary.

• Scales: You'll be able to see how much nectar the colony is bringing in, when it’s time to add another super, when the bees start consuming honey, and when it’s time to harvest.
• Base Sensor: Installed in the top super, this sensor helps monitor the strength of the colony. If the colony consistently maintains stable internal temperature and humidity, regardless of external changes, it indicates that the colony is healthy and developing well. If the internal conditions fluctuate along with the external environment, this signals that the beekeeper needs to take action.
• Multi-sensor: Installed in the lower part of the hive (brood chamber), this sensor collects data on temperature, humidity, and bee sound frequency. This data set provides insights into future events and emerging situations. For example, it can detect a colony’s preparation for swarming 5-10 days in advance, identify queen loss, or, when introducing a new queen, indicate whether the colony has accepted her. The beekeeper will have valuable time to assess what's happening inside the hive and take corrective action.

The sensors are designed for use by beginner beekeepers and is suitable for several bee colonies (or for installation in 2-4 hives). As the apiary grows, additional sensors can be purchased and connected to the existing control unit, reducing costs when scaling up.
Apiary data is accessible to the beekeeper anytime and anywhere through an app or personal account on the website.
