A season for everythingHi there, over here in New Zealand it's nearly spring, and our beekeepers are busier than ever gearing up for the new season. In your part of the world, you might be looking forward to winding down in the next few months as fall descends (hey, that's not even a bee pun). Don't relax prematurely, though. It's important to make sure your hives are in good shape for the colder weather, and that takes planning and work. It's the same for your business. Not to be too subtle about it, but one thing you can start thinking about at this time is how monitoring could impact your operations, and perhaps even ordering some equipment to keep an eye on some of your hives over the hard months. What's my extra yield?Got five minutes? Look at our calculator to work out your own operation's potential yield gain and savings from monitoring. Feel free to call us to talk it through! That's not even counting the other benefits monitoring gives you:
One customer had starving bees and Hivemind data prompted them to shift their hives in time. They got a full crop of honey instead. 100% yield increase! FAQ and tips1. Can I pause billing over winter? Yes. From your hive graph simply click "Billing" at the top-right. Then simply click the two items circled here in the screenshot. This will suspend your hub's data plan from next month. You can turn it back on the same way. 2. Where do I get low-cost lithium batteries? Our satellite hub requires good quality lithium batteries to get the full battery life. They're a little more expensive than alkaline batteries, so it's good to know where to find them at the best prices. Visit our website product specs page for the recommended sources of cheap, quality lithium batteries. |
