Adopt a hive
Sound, images and selected data

Hear what normally remains hidden.

A low-consumption solar kit can capture selected hive audio, observe the entrance and send approved media or optional sensor data for education and supporter reports.

One low-impact kit per pilot

Technology must serve the beekeeper and the experience.

Protected microphones, a low-power camera, optional sensors, solar energy, local storage and a suitable data connection form one maintainable system.

Bee Sound kit

Four connected technical layers.

Every component must be low-power, protected from humidity and accessible for maintenance.

01

Protected microphone

Scheduled or event-based hive sound captured through an accessible moisture-protected capsule.

02

Camera and sensors

A low-power entrance camera with optional temperature, humidity, weight and noise measurements.

03

Solar and LiFePO4

A small solar panel, charge controller and stable battery selected for local conditions.

04

Connection and buffer

4G, LoRa or Wi-Fi with local storage when the network is temporarily unavailable.

Media and data flow

Capture less, protect more, publish selectively.

Raw media, approved media and public content remain separate.

01

Provision the device

Register the kit, identity, energy profile, connectivity and maintenance responsibility.

02

Capture selected material

Record scheduled clips or controlled events rather than permanent high-bandwidth streaming.

03

Buffer and upload

Store locally during outages and upload compressed media through authorised connections.

04

Publish approved reports

Share only selected media and clearly labelled data with dates and current device status.
