Our remote monitoring systems are also included in these expenses. Our scales and anti-theft devices allow better and more rational management of beekeeping activity, especially in the case of nomadic beekeeping. Having your bees under control at all times, you can plan targeted visits and interventions, avoiding empty trips and saving time. Monitoring devices also provide you with valuable information on production and stock consumption, as well as the state of the colony. On your profile you can organise your work, enter notes, schedule tasks and even set warning thresholds. With anti-theft devices you can then protect your crates and monitor them in case of theft. As soon as the system detects abnormal movement or vibration, specific alarms are sent to you via SMS and email. By entering the app, you can directly track your movements around the house.

3Bee makes one of its beekeeping technicians available for the period between September and January. These are in fact the months in which the regions open specific calls for beekeeping activities. The 3Bee technician will assist beekeepers who meet all the requirements of the call for applications in the phase of collecting the required documentation. The technician will also provide support during the submission of the application itself and the final expenditure reporting phase. Taking advantage of this service is completely free of charge, but conditional on the inclusion of our devices in the application, which will then have to be purchased once the financing has been obtained.
