Having a beehive (or multiples) is a very rewarding hobby, and not just the possibility of obtaining some of the best honey you will ever taste! Watching your hive grow is half the fun, but opening your hive to see what’s happening more than necessary isn’t ideal. Having had bees off and on multiple times and having some components from a previous, but dead, open-source hive-tracking project I decided to make my own in time for our latest attempt at raising bees. A few simple sensors, a custom PCB and I have a live-feed of data on the health and daily comings and goings of my hive, with room to easily expand to additional hives in the future.
