BeeSensing makes pollination measurable

BeeSensing is a Dutch company that develops HiveWatcher: a pollination monitoring system for greenhouses, polytunnels and other protected crops.

About BeeSensing

BeeSensing develops HiveWatcher, a measurement system for pollination in greenhouses. We started with a simple question from growers: are my bees or bumblebees doing their job?

Other systems were removed by growers because the counts were wrong. Reliability is therefore our first requirement. We develop in the greenhouse, together with growers.


What we make

HiveWatcher combines sensors at the hive (the HiveNode) and in the crop (the BeeNode), a central receiver and the HiveWatcher portal. Measurements are processed inside the greenhouse; only compact measurement data is sent to the portal. Read how HiveWatcher works.

How we work

  • With growers. We develop and test in working greenhouses and build what growers need. Join a pilot.
  • For every pollinated crop. Tomatoes, strawberries, soft fruit and fruiting vegetables, with bees or bumblebees.
  • Independent of suppliers. HiveWatcher works with bee and bumblebee hives from any supplier.
