$339.00
Perfect for the hobbyist beekeeper, this unique and powerful device measures and stores accurate weight and temperature readings, every hour, ready to be transmitted via WiFi. Readings are precise and measure tiny changes in beehive weight. Solutionbee devices are also made to last for years.
An important benefit of the under-the-hive design of the HM-6 is that the entire weight of the hive rests on the monitor, so weight measurements are very precise. This compares with "tilt weight" monitors which which take a measurement and extrapolate, to estimate the actual weight (this can vary based on factors such as the location of bees and honey). With the HM-6, small differences in weight can be charted, often leading to valuable insight.
HM-6 WiFi Advantages
* Configuration of the WiFi component can be completed using an Android phone. iOS support for WiFi setup is not yet available, but is planned.
The monitor reads both the weight and temperature of the hive, every hour. These readings are extremely precise and can help identify small but potentially illuminating changes. This offers a continual flow of data, to track the growth or decline of your hive all year round.
