Eyesonhives 1.0.2.3

Eyesonhives offers a robust solution for monitoring bee activity, making the process straightforward for both beekeepers and the bees themselves.

The core of this monitoring system is the Eyesonhives Scout B Beehive Monitor, a device specifically engineered to measure the flight activity of bees at the hive entrance. The accompanying Eyesonhives app allows users to easily access and analyze bee activity data and videos captured by the Scout B.

Effective hive monitoring is essential for beekeepers dedicated to maintaining the health of their colonies. With the Eyesonhives Scout B, users can effortlessly observe their hive remotely, gaining insights into bee behavior and overall colony health. The system is tailored for beekeepers, citizen scientists, and researchers alike.

Designed with minimal disruption in mind, the Eyesonhives solution requires no modifications to the hive. Setup is simple: position the device one to two feet away from the hive entrance and direct it towards the entrance. This unobtrusive installation allows beekeepers to monitor their hives without disturbing the bees.

Remote monitoring capabilities empower users to track bee activity from anywhere, conduct personal experiments, and achieve measurable results. This functionality allows for the observation of important patterns, such as the rate of spring build-up or the ability to set alerts in case of swarming events.

The Eyesonhives system employs advanced camera technology and computer analysis to continuously monitor hive activity. By tracking flying bees, it provides a comprehensive view of colony dynamics. Over time, computerized video analysis captures colony activity patterns, translating hours of footage into an accessible, real-time visual summary.

A noteworthy aspect of this system is its focus on not just counting bees but understanding their flight behavior as a collective entity—a superorganism. This nuanced approach enhances a beekeeper's comprehension of their hive's health and performance.

The data analytics offered includes web app visualization, alerts, and video storage. This feature allows users to observe growth trends within their hives, equipping them with valuable insights into colony status while also enabling access to a community where beekeepers can exchange information about their experiences on the platform.

It is important to note that proper functioning requires access to both power and WiFi. The system utilizes WiFi for alert communication, video uploads, and trending data reports; therefore, a stable 120V power supply and usable WiFi signal at the hive are necessary for optimal operation.
