WHAT IS THE PROBLEM
The main issue of beekeeping is to be proactive. Beekeepers need
to be inform in advance or in time, what happened in hive

Beekeeper need to know about swarming before it happens.
Beekeeper need to know what is momentary activity of the bees.

Arnia’s state of the art remote hive monitoring system was designed by
beekeepers for beekeepers. Other systems are focused usually only on the hive
weight. It could be mentioned
BeeWise - product to remote monitor hives by measuring their weight using
SMS technology accessible from any mobile phone.
BeeWatch Professional Scale - Swienty Beekeeping Equipment.
Hivemind is a nifty little box designed to remotely track how much honey is in
your beehives.
