Hive monitoring helps beekeepers help their bees

The Eyesonhives Scout B is the easiest way to monitor your hive, view your bees remotely and keep an eye on your hive’s health.

 

Designed for citizen scientists and researchers alike

Eyesonhives is focused on making it very easy to monitor bees – easy for you, and easy on the bees. The system does not disturb your colony or require modifications to your hive, and is easy to set up. Simply place the unit one to two feet away from the hive and point at the hive entrance.

 

Check your hive from anywhere

You’ll be able to check in on your hive from anywhere.  You can see what your bees have been up to, conduct your own experiments and get measurable results.  Imagine being able to measure the rate of your bees’ spring build up, observe trends, and setting an alert if your hive swarms!

Eyesonhives uses a camera and computer to visually monitor what goes on at the bee hive all day, every day. Activity is measured by tracking the number of flying bees.

Colony activity patterns are tracked over time using computerized video analysis. Hours of video is automatically translated into an easy to understand, visual, real-time summary for beekeepers.

A key insight is that it’s not just the ‘count’ of individual bees that matters, it’s their flight behavior. Eyesonhives doesn’t just look at bees, it measures flight behavior of the hive as a superorganism!
