SMS Beehive Scale


The scale allows for constant control of hive’s weight. On this basis we can draw conclusions about what is happening in the apiary for example, how do bees use food supplies. The Optima scale is equipped with an automatic anti-theft sensor – if a hive is knocked over or taken off the scale, a text message “MASS LOSS” will be sent immediately, informing that something bad has happened to the hive.

Each scale is encrypted with a 5-digit PIN code. When the power is disconnected, it will request that this code be entered.
