GoBuzzR will monitor the quantity of the honey deposited
Apiarists can now monitor their bee boxes and hives from anywhere, anytime through their mobile and other devices eliminating the usual manual process.
Dev Beetech India Pvt. Ltd, a Tamil Nadu-based start-up, has come out with an IoT (Internet of Things)-based product called GoBuzzR which when installed on the bee box monitors details like weight of honey deposited, temperature and humidity of the beehives, among others.
“Traditionally, beekeepers monitor each box manually. These boxes are kept at different places and moving around takes a lot of time and involves huge cost. Not just that each time before checking the boxes they have to wear a bee suit to prevent getting stung,” said G. Kapildev, founder of the start-up.
