BroodMinder-BTV
The BeeTV Camera is our latest innovation, it brings real-time video monitoring directly to your beehive. Designed for beekeepers who want a closer look without disturbing their colonies, BeeTV fits seamlessly into your hive.
This is a device designed especially to be placed into the brood nest which provides excellent images of both the backs and the bellies of the bees.
We are making a limited number of these devices available for the 2025 season. It is a 5th generation beta device that we are using to collect data to use in development of our real-time varroa destructor mite counter.
We expect to begin shipping BroodMinder-BTV in July 2025.
