๐ก๏ธ Beehive scales are smart IoT scales equipped with additional sensors and communication chips. They periodically measure the hive's state and send data to a web app. This aggregated data helps beekeepers monitor their colonies in the field with minimal costs.
The hardware is described in the beehive sensors docs, while the app stores readings in hive telemetry storage and compares them through timeseries data analytics.
