Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does a connected hive scale work?

A connected hive scale automatically measures the weight of the hive and transmits the data via the SIGFOX network. Thanks to its online interface and mobile application, the beekeeper can monitor the evolution of honey flows, the status of reserves, and the health of their colonies in real time, without having to travel.

What are the advantages of a connected scale for beekeepers?

The use of a connected beekeeping scale allows you to:

Monitor the evolution of hive weight remotely
Reduce travel and optimize migratory beekeeping
Receive alerts in case of abnormal variations (shock, weight loss, temperature)
Get weather forecasts to anticipate interventions

Does the connected scale work without a mobile network?

Yes, our connected hive scale uses the SIGFOX network, specially designed for the Internet of Things (IoT). Unlike classic mobile networks (4G, 5G), SIGFOX allows reliable data transmission, even in rural or isolated areas.

Can I compare data from multiple hives?

Yes, thanks to the cloud platform, you can compare the weight, temperature, and other parameters of multiple connected hive scales at a glance. This feature is ideal for beekeeping operations with multiple apiaries.

How do I install the connected scale on my hive?

Installation is simple and quick: L’installation est simple et rapide :

1. Place the connected scale under the hive, ensuring a stable surface.
2. Activate the connection and register the scale on the mobile application
3. Immediately access online data and alerts.

Is the application compatible with all smartphones?

Yes, the connected scale's mobile application is available on Android and iOS. It allows easy access to real-time data, with push notifications in case of an alert.
