Track hive weight remotely
Hivemind is a nifty little box we're designing to keep track of how much honey is in your beehives.
The great thing is you won't have to be anywhere near your hives to get a reading. You could be kicking your feet up in the Bahamas, keeping an eye on what your busy bees are up too. If they're done, you better get moving.
How? It's all in the weight, recorded multiple times daily, and sent (via satellite from any remote beehive) straight to your online Hivemind account.

Available early 2012
We plan to be doing internal field tests of hivemind during February 2012. We'll be taking pre-orders in mid-March, aiming for production during May.
This means we could have the product shipping to you by June 2012. Things do change, so bear with us, but we'll certainly keep you posted as things progress.
Please keep me up-to-date so that I can get one as soon as it hits the shelves:
Coming soon!
We hope to be taking pre-orders during March 2012. By that time, we will have indicative pricing and we can help you calculate the cost benefit for the Hivemind system in your particular scenario.
