Beebot
"The Beebot is your personal intercom from your smart hive. It records data about the change in temperature and humidity and performs acoustic analysis every 15 minutes. All information is compiled into a report and sent to the cloud three times a day. On the backend of our analytics dashboard (the BBoard), the data is run through a series of algorithms to make more sense of it and notify you when your attention is needed. This way you minimize the number of manual inspections and only intervene when you have to." Beebot
HyperHyve
"Our insulated beehives are built from the ground up to provide what the bees have been needing for over 100 years in man-made hives. A hive that better mimics the tree hollow they evolved to survive in with a superior insulation value that increases honey yield and better protects the bees from varroa mites. The beekeeper wins, the bees win with simply a more superior bee hive with patent pending technologies." HyperHyve
Beewise
"Earth's first robotic beehive. Beehome is a device that houses 24 colonies, allowing beekeepers to remotely treat their hives and care for their bees. Solar powered, Beehome controls climate & humidity, controls pests, autonomous swarm prevention, real-time alerts, it even harvests up to 100 gallons of your honey then sends you an alert to come and empty it." Beewise
HiveTracks
"The Beekeeper's Companion guiding you to do what's best for your bees with confidence and peace of mind. Track the health of your hives and plan with ease with the help of this smart phone app." HiveTracks
ThermoSolar Hive
"This modern beekeeping technology protects against pests that might wipe out your colony, or otherwise require chemical treatments. The patented Thermosolar Hive has a rooftop solar panel that heats the hive’s interior to a temperature that bees can tolerate but dangerous Varroa mites cannot. The inventors say that the thermo-solar energy can also boost colony expansion and honey collection up to 75 percent." ThermoSolarHive
Flow Hive
And of course we must mention the popular Flow Hive. See Hobby Beekeepers article on the Flow Hive.
