    I want to try your app for two months

    Are you considering buying our equipment, but want to see what it does first? No problem!


    ?You will receive:

    Our set for remote monitoring consists sensor in a hive (Apicula) that measures sound, temperature and humidity, a weight sensor (Cordulia) and a hub (Bombus) that sends all collected data to the web application where you can see them. This provides real-time insights on the presence of the mother, the weight gain of honey, the loss of supplies, the stress level of the bees and the current events in your hive.

    Get access to the app for two months and be able to watch one of our hives with all the features like it was your own bees. That way you can simply see if that is something you could use. Or you can of course just spy on our style of beekeeping :) Obviously, on the side, we will be letting you know what do we do in the hive so you can relate.

    Just to clarify: with this reward you are not purchasing the whole set, only the access to the app and the details around our beekeeping.
