An eHive user account synchronizes scale data, hives, apiaries and the Beekeeper Diary across devices. It also works with Bluetooth scales without a GSM module and allows data export for further processing or archiving.
A beekeeper's diary connects apiary notes with scale data, so interventions can be evaluated later with context.
Preparation for winter starts in August, not in October. The scale shows how many stores the bees have, how fast they take them in, and whether they will last until spring.
After lime bloom comes a gap. Sometimes short, sometimes long. The graph shows when it begins and when something worse than dearth has happened.
Spring in Orava does not arrive all at once. It comes in several waves, interrupted by cold weeks, and each wave has different intensity. The graph from the scale captures it exact...
The year 2023 had no extraction. The year 2024 only 16 kg. The year 2025 was good. Three consecutive seasons, three completely different stories.
A practical choice based on the way you use it, the distance of the site and how you interpret the data.
Small-batch production helps us keep quality, service and fast iteration without losing direct contact with customers.
eHive combines mechanics, electronics, firmware and final calibration. Every unit goes through concrete verification steps.
Three practical reasons why eHive makes sense even in long-term use.
From measurement at the hive through data transfer to the graph in the app. Short and without marketing fluff.
The frame material was not a random choice. We were looking for a solution that would last outdoors for years /blog/why ehive without maintenance and that the customer would not ha...
Inspection goal The first spring inspection is important to assess colony strength. Checklist Check food reserves Monitor brood temperature Review weight trends
It is not a question of technology. It is a question of where your bees are and how often you go there.
Winter is a strange period for a beekeeper. The hives are closed, the bees do not move and you have no way to know what is happening inside without disturbing wintering.
Most mistakes in beekeeping do not come from lack of care. They happen because the beekeeper does not have enough information at the right time.
Hive weight changes every day. And every change means something, if you know what to look for.
Not every beekeeper needs it in the same way. It depends on how and where you keep bees.
The year 2019 was exceptional in Orava: a cold spring, a strong June and honeydew in July. What did the graph show and what was behind the numbers?
Brood temperature is one of the earliest signals about the condition of the colony. A healthy colony keeps it with surprising precision, and every deviation means something.
