Sentinel Apiary Project

---

Sentinel Apiaries monitor honey bee health in real-time using hive scales to track colony weight gain or loss and monthly disease assessments. The scale data is automatically transmitted to our servers and the patterns of nectar flow mapped. The goal is to collect enough information so that Sentinel Apiaries become early warning systems and we can alert beekeepers of potential problems due to increases in disease or lack of nutritional resources. Sentinel Apiaries will allow us to develop data driven best management practices for beekeepers in real time, improving honey bee health for all beekeepers.
