Hivemind Precision Apiculture Read more Bees are responsible for pollinating 80% of the world’s crops and in the process produce their own valuable, delicious food which humans love (honey, in case you didn’t get that).Hivemind exists to provide beekeepers and orchardists with key insights into the health and performance of their beehives. We do this by providing beehive sensors that collect hive temperature, activity, and weight data and track this over time. The weight of a beehive can tell a beekeeper when the honey is flowing, when it’s stopped, when the bees need food, and many other important things. The temperature and bee flight activity are vital parameters of the health and performance of the hive. Putting this information together, we provide a “magic window” that the beekeeper can peer into at any time.
