Getting started with bee counters
Count your bees
With the Beezum eHive Beecounter, you get an overview of how many bees you have in your community and how it is growing or shrinking by counting your bees daily.

Mechanical fasteners are not included. The bee counter sensor is turned with openings downwards to protect against rain. For example, it can easily be placed outside the entrance on a board attached under the hive, and adjusted in height depending on how thick the bottom is, with smaller pieces of wood in between to fit the opening to the hive. Make sure that the openings are at the right height so that the bees can get in and out easily. Use smaller pieces of wood to adjust and close the opening at the side of the sensor. Otherwise, bees that go out/in next to the sensor are not counted. Place the sensor box next to it and make sure the solar panel is in the sun and can be charged.
Note: the sensor is not waterproof so please cover with a small plastic cover/board/roof above the entrance where the sensor is mounted, for protection against rain and snow.
