    3Bee, innovative technology for bees

    The 3Bee device, the Hive-tech Full Pro V.2, is responsible for recording the main biological parameters of the hive: weight, temperature, humidity, sounds. To this is added the monitoring of climatic and external parameters that can influence in some way the performance of the hive and its productivity. The data, sent to the Cloud, can be consulted directly from the personal profile in the application. Thanks to monitoring, our systems allow beekeepers to better organise their activity and keep an eye on the health of their bees. Through the application, the beekeeper can schedule visits and interventions. In addition to receiving specific reminders, the artificial intelligence system helps him to identify the occurrence of certain events. For example, it helps to identify phenomena such as swarming.

    Technology for beekeepers is not the only activity 3Bee is involved in. In order to raise awareness of beekeeping, it has launched the "Sponsor a hive" programme. The platform has been present in Italy for 2 years and allows beekeepers to sell honey at an ethical price. As 3Bee, we take care of the marketing and marketing of the honey, and once the honey is sold. We also take care of the shipping, from logistics to customer support. "Sponsor a hive" has given rise to a new way of selling honey by highlighting the story of the beekeepers and telling how hard the bees work. Through sponsorship, the consumer receives monitoring of the hive for one year, i.e. access to the application to constantly monitor the activity of the bees, the certificate of adoption attesting to this and the honey.
