1. How is the battery life?
The scales are powered by a lithium battery with a battery life of 2-5 years. Then you have to charge it. At the heart of the hive is a button battery with a battery life of 1 year. The GSM communication gateway works on a lithium battery, the life of the battery is 3-6 months. Then you have to charge it.
2. How often is the data sent?
All data is sent every 30 seconds to the gateway and the gateway sends it once every hour. If you don’t have a gateway, you can use a smartphone.
3. Do I need a gateway?
No, you don’t need a gateway. When you are close to the hives, about 100 meters, you will see the data on your smartphone and if you have a mobile signal, the data is automatically sent to the data cloud.
4. Are electronics safe for bees?
It is 100% biological, 100% residue-free, harmless to bees, easy to handle, usable throughout the year, even during honey collection. The bees don’t mind. After the first hour, during which they try to “kill” him, because he is an unknown object to them, they stop noticing him.

One gateway is enough for 250 devices if they are closer than 100 meters. 🙂

The weight is 200 kg and their accuracy is +/- 1 kg.
7. Do you have a mobile application?
Yes, we have created an app. It works on both android and iPhone.

9. How do you know the queen bee is okay?
Bees make a different sound when the queen is not present. The wireless sound monitor probe monitors it every 30 seconds and the microchip evaluates it.
10. How do you predict swarming?
The frequency of the bees’ sound changes as the bees prepare to swarm. The beekeeper does not register it with his own ear, but you see it through the sound sensor in the hive. (hive heart). The first change happens already 3 weeks before swarming.
