Currently at the Nova Scotia Beekeepers Association AGM. Where the journey started 7 years ago. In the picture is the first prototype of the PHS. Amazing help from many individuals got us to the PHS 2.0 on top of the hive.

The Canadian Association for Professional Apiculturist(CAPA) conducts a study every year on hive losses. Starvation is unfortunately in the top 4, year after year, for reasons hives did not make it through winter.
A beekeeper just finished weighing all his hives and found one was a lot lighter than the rest. He didn't realize how low the food was until he weighed all his hives. #beehive#beekeeping
One happy customer! James used a bathroom scale to weigh all his hives. He would have to tilt and slide the bathroom scale under each hive. Not anyone with his new PHS 2.0 #beekeeping#scale#innovation#canadianmade
We have been busy doing kitchen demos with the new PHS 2.0 If you would like to see the scale in action head to https://t.co/pKEIK1gWgc and fill out the contact form.
The design team went back to the drawing board and designed a completely new scale. What changed? Lifting the entire hive with one hand. Stayed tuned for product launch dates https://t.co/pKEIK1gWgc
Hivetronics is doing a little experiment to see the affects of tar paper wrapped around a hive. 5.59 degrees celcius no tar paper. 10.18 with tar paper. Sunny today outside temperature was 5 degrees.
Looks like we're back on the featured game on Wednesday at 11:00 Atlantic time on TSN against Gushue. We felt the support from home and we'll be ready for more!
