BEEP base
Read full descriptionHide full description
The BEEP base is an automatic measurement system that you place under the hive. The built-in scale and the temperature sensor and microphone turn on every 15 minutes to measure the values and to send the information to the BEEP app through LoRa. Thus, with the BEEP base you always have insights in the status of your bees. This app can be used to calibrate your BEEP base sensors and set the LoRa settings.
