Pilots

Measure pollination in your own greenhouse

In a pilot we install HiveWatcher in one section of your greenhouse or one tunnel. You see every day how your bee or bumblebee colonies are doing and where they visit the flowers. The first pilots start in December 2026.

What a pilot includes

Sensors for one section

About four HiveNodes at the hives, two to three BeeNodes in the crop and a central receiver.

Installation and removal

We install, maintain and remove everything, following your hygiene and visitor rules.

The HiveWatcher portal

Measurements per section, alerts by email and an export of your data, for you and your adviser.

Your data

Measurement data stays yours and is stored in Europe. No images leave the greenhouse.

How a pilot runs

  1. Request

    Fill in the form below. We get back to you within two working days.

  2. Intake call

    We discuss your crop, your colonies and which section fits best.

  3. Installation

    Half a day on site. We set up the sensors and show you the portal.

  4. Measuring

    You follow pollination every day. After six to eight weeks we evaluate together for the first time.

  5. Evaluation

    At the end we go through the results and you decide whether to continue.

Frequently asked questions

Which crops?

Greenhouse and tunnel crops that are pollinated by bees or bumblebees: tomatoes, strawberries and other soft fruit, sweet pepper and other fruiting vegetables.

Do I need hives from a specific supplier?

No. The HiveNode works with bee and bumblebee hives from any supplier.

What do I need on site?

Power and wifi or a network cable for the central receiver. We discuss everything else in the intake call.

How long does a pilot last?

A few months in the pollination season, so you see colonies come and go. The first pilots run from December to March.

What happens after the pilot?

You decide whether to continue. If you do, the sensors can stay; if not, we remove them.
