Hivewire — Smart Beekeeping & Remote Hive Monitoring Keep your finger on the pulse of every hive — from the yard or from anywhere. Hivewire pairs real-time sensor monitoring with a complete, offline-first record-keeping system, so you always know what's happening inside your colonies and never lose a note in the field. Know before you go: Hivewire's battery-powered sensors stream live data over a long-range mesh network to the cloud and straight to your phone: hive weight, brood-nest temperature and humidity, acoustic activity, and battery and solar status. Watch trends over time, get alerts when something's off, and decide which hives actually need a visit — before you open a single lid. A full beekeeping record, built for the field: Log inspections, treatments, feedings, and harvests in seconds. Track what's in every box and every frame — brood, pollen, and honey — and photograph frames as you work. Everything is offline-first: write it all down with no signal in the apiary, and it syncs the moment you're back in range. Photos, AI, and a second opinion: Attach photos to hives, visits, records, and individual frames. AI automatically identifies what's in your frame photos — capped brood, queen cells, and more. Not sure what you're looking at? Submit any photo for a consult and get a second opinion from a peer or an expert. Manage colonies, queens, and genetics: Follow each colony's story separately from its equipment — splits, combines, requeening, and dead-outs. Keep queen records with tenure and year codes, and use per-line trait scoring and a live selection index to breed from your best stock. Your hardware, your data: Set up and update your hubs, gateways, and sensors right from the app, with over-the-air firmware and direct device management. Solar-ready and cellular-capable for remote yards with no Wi-Fi.
