Plug it in and use it
No registration, no complicated settings. Put it under the hive, insert the batteries, pair it and it is done. The app is free, without subscription, without ads, on Android, iOS and Windows.
For a remote site, add bhBase, insert a SIM card with a data plan, set which scales it should connect to. The data arrives automatically and there is nothing else to deal with.
One base station for the whole site
bhBase can handle up to 10 scales, so the cost of the base station and the SIM card is shared across the whole site. Solutions where each scale needs its own GSM connection become significantly more expensive with a larger number of hives.
Data with context
It is not just weight. From the trend you can see nectar flow, dearth, an intervention in the colony or a technical problem. The value of the system is not in one number. It is in the fact that from the development over days and weeks you can decide when to go to the site and when to leave the bees alone.
That is why it makes sense to look at the trend, not at one isolated point. The system keeps its value even after years because it allows comparison and prediction.
Made in Slovakia
We build the scales ourselves. We can offer spare parts and service even after years. The first scales went to customers in 2019 and most of them are still in the field today.
