Connected Hive: Monitoring and Tracking Your Colonies

Excellent equipment! Certainly one of the most expensive scales on the market, but the quality of the material and the customer service make it worth it. It's been almost a year since I bought my first scale, and I'm very satisfied. Sturdy equipment, made in France, with top-notch customer service. I highly recommend it 100%!

Very high-quality equipment, very easy to install, and extremely satisfying to use. The app is well-designed, simple, and intuitive. The data readings provide valuable insights for colony monitoring. For example, did you know that the internal temperature of a colony can drop to 17-18°C when there is no more brood? Perfect for tracking the broodless period!

Easy-to-use interface and accessible basic data. However, one area for improvement: there is little guidance on subscription renewal.

Having tested three different brands of scales, I rank HoneyInstruments as number one. Installation and setup are very easy. I've been using three scales for several months now without any issues. I was eagerly awaiting the 3G module, which works perfectly. Initially skeptical about the usefulness of the brood sensor, I now see that it effectively highlights the need for hive insulation. In the end, it's a reliable and robust product, backed by a dedicated team that provides excellent support and listens to users.

This scale is fantastic! I can remotely monitor the hive's weight (no need to open it during the honey flow to know when to add or remove a super). Advantages compared to other scale brands: the smartphone application and personalized weight alerts. The scale is super easy to install and use. It's worth the investment, and the connected scale is an extraordinary tool and progress for managing my apiary.

User of several scales for a few years. A robust product of very good quality. We have a project to add more scales. A very responsive customer service attentive to its clients! Very satisfied, I recommend it.

The best-connected scale in my opinion, albeit with a high price, but it's quality. I manage to get a signal even in isolated apiaries. In case of technical issues, customer service is super responsive. I appreciate that it's a French product and the reliability of this company. Let's not forget that we provide GPS points with the scales... Personally, I trust them wholeheartedly. Thank you and long live!

I bought two scales in November 2022 at the Quimper (France) fair, and they are perfect. It allows easy monitoring of hive weights directly on my phone. They also send us the external temperature at the base of the hives.

Durable and well-thought-out design for the scale. Quality customer service, responsive and attentive to both professionals and passionate enthusiasts. Mobile interface and web application with essential functions. I recommend this product to everyone. Bravo for the Made in France!

I had to deal with customer service, they are very responsive and efficient. The electronic card was defective, they replaced it, and it's back in operation. Nothing to complain about!

Completely satisfied with my scale and the received data; customer service is responsive. However, the hive tends to slide a bit on the scale, requiring attention during intervention, and there have been some network losses with Sigfox.

Scale really easy to configure and install. It's the 4th scale I've bought. Very good product, I recommend it.

Tested on our farm for over a year. Reliable and cost-effective scale. The Sigfox radio connection is a bonus in mountainous areas not covered by the telephone network used by other scale models.

I purchased a scale 2 months ago and am very satisfied with this choice. I installed it in a medium mountain zone and had no connection issues to the network. The data is transmitted regularly, and it's great. I was able to track the entire honey flow period, its end, and harvest at the right time.

Use of the scale over a full year. Nothing to say about the operation except for a few transmissions that don't go through. Probably due to the antenna, which is positioned on the box below at the back of the hive. The website interface is nice and easy to use, whether on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
