Improve the Quality of Your Beekeping with Bee Scales

Beekeping is a wonderful and challenging hobby that has become increasingly popular all over the world. But to be good at it and actually achieve the results that we want, we have to have certain knowledge and equipment.

The fact is that setting up your beehive is only the first and probably simplest step – to make sure your bees stay healthy and your beehive pest-free and well-protected from the elements takes a lot of work and dedication.

One of the key elements of successful beekeeping is always keeping track of the condition of your beehive and your bees. While there’s a simple way of doing that, going to the beehive, opening it and taking a peek inside, this isn’t always the best or the easiest way.

First of all, your beehive isn’t always just around the corner and it may take you a considerable amount of time to get there, and second of all, bees don’t always appreciate you entering their home. Opening of the beehives can upset them, especially during the winter when the cold air enters the beehive.

So what to do? On one hand, you want to (and have to) inspect your beehives and make sure your bees are doing well, but on the other hand, you don’t want to waste too much time or cause unneeded stress to your bees.

We’ve got some great news. There’s a solution that enables you to receive regular updates on the condition of your beehives and bees without interrupting their daily routine: weighing the beehives. This provides you with all the information you need to ensure optimal conditions for your beehives and at the same time saves you lots of valuable time and stress.

Why Should You Weigh Your Beehives?

To put things simply: because it provides you with all the information you need, and you don’t even have to be anywhere near your beehive. Weighing your beehives can tell you how much honey and even how many bees it contains.

You can use this information to determine whether your bees need additional food supplies for the winter, to check how good the bees have been in collecting their produce and to find out how many bees you’ve lost to swarming.

What’s the Best Way to Weigh Your Beehives?

Weighing your beehives is the best and the least intrusive way of checking the number, productivity and health status of your bees. There are many ways to weigh a beehive, but most of them are complicated, not very exact and cause unnecessary stress to the bees. There is, however, a simple way to avoid all this: using a modern and advanced bee scale such as the BeeScales.io that will offer you all the information you need without any complications.

A specialized beehive scale such as the BeeScales.io is a multi-functional device that can provide you with the exact weight of the beehive, along with a number of other information. It not only measures and stores the data, but also uploads it onto a cloud in real time, enabling you to track the conditions and changes of your beehives wherever you are.

This means that you no longer have to travel long distances to regularly check on your bees and beehives, but can easily control them with the help of data in the mobile app or on the website. Apart from that, a specialized bee scale also enables you to monitor the weight of the bee hive without upsetting the bees, making sure they stay comfortable and stress-free.

What Kind of Information Does the Bee Scale Provide?

The first and most important information is of course the weight of the beehive, but a good bee scale also provides you with a variety of other information.

A good quality bee scale will provide you with the following information:

• Weight of the beehives and their contents
• Productivity of the bee family
• Weather (external temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative air humidity)
• Amount of winter supplies
• Detection of swarming
• Location of the bee scale provided by the built-in GPS system
• Detection of movement due to bee hive theft or bee rustling

All this information enables you to:

• Keep track of your bee hive yields
• Add more supplies for the winter if needed
• Receive an alarm whenever there’s an important change in the number of bees
• Keep track of the health of your bees with the help of advanced technology
• Quickly determine the quality of pasture and find out whether your beehive needs to be moved to a better location
• Easily determine the best time to harvest honey
• Determine the quantity of honey in the beehives and calculate how much you can expect to earn from it
• Constantly monitor the functioning of the entire beehive
• Monitor the battery levels

A good bee scale will make you a better and more successful beekeeper. It will increase your production and provide you with all the data you need to carefully plan your beekeeping in the future. It will help you prevent any potential damage to your beehives and thus save you from high costs or even destruction of your beehives.
