What is the Hives initiative?
WAAS has created a Hive Monitoring portal which allows for continuous collection of hive data from a growing number of hives located across the south west region of Western Australia. Load sensors in these hives help inform beekeepers of nectar flows, deaths, swarms, potential starvation, and ambient temperature and in some cases internal hive temperature and humidity.

WAAS has initially partnered with a hive monitor manufacturer who allows users to automatically forward their scale data to WAAS. We hope to add other monitoring systems to the portal in the future.
