BeeBox

Our flagship product is designed for the specific health needs of honey bees and the performance needs of beekeepers.

BeeBox loading with honeybees overwinter

Placing colonies into a secure, climate-controlled apiary in the fall:

  • Can significantly increase survival rates.

  • Prevents the winter spike in Varroa Mites.

  • Reduces miticide applications.

  • Eliminates labor costs during the winter months.

  • Optimizes the longevity of worker bees produced from the last batches of brood that are reared in the fall.

  • Saves money spent on supplemental food because bees have lower metabolisms and consume food stores more slowly.

  • Protects woodenware and pallets from the elements. Both come out cleaner and with less weather damage.

How many bee hives can fit inside?

It depends on your equipment and your preference. We have seen all types of configurations work. Here are some options to consider:

Data Collection Made Easy

We use sensors that transmit their data through either cell or local WiFi connection to:

  • Track bee health

  • Set up alarms

  • Monitor the interior conditions of BeeBox

Beekeepers will have access to an online dashboard that displays all of this data in real time, so you can rest assured that bees are hibernating in comfort.
