The service model

Subscribe. We handle the rest.

2bee.farm is not a hardware sale. We own the complete hive — box, bees, frames, and monitoring technology. You subscribe, we supply and maintain everything.

Everything included in your subscription

  • Complete hive — box, frames, bees, and monitoring technology — owned by 2bee.farm
  • Delivery and setup by a qualified beekeeper
  • Choice of managed (our beekeeper) or self-managed (your beekeeper)
  • Continuous remote monitoring — off-grid, cellular or satellite
  • Live app.2bee.farm dashboard for your full fleet
  • Automated push, email & SMS alerts when a colony needs attention
  • Technology updates, maintenance, and field service calls
  • 12-month rolling contract — cancel with notice, no lock-in surprises
Self-Managed — your beekeeper
Complete hive delivered to your site. Your beekeeper manages the colony. You keep the honey, queens, and pollination revenue. We own and maintain the hive and technology.

Who it's for

One platform.

Commercial beekeepers, councils and corporates, growers needing verified pollination data, research institutions, and biosecurity agencies — 2bee.farm scales to every use case.

🐝

Commercial Beekeepers

You keep honey, queens & pollination revenue. No capital outlay.

Data-driven treatment timing cuts chemical use and resistance build-up. Verifiable colony health records support premium pollination contracts. Your beekeeper runs the colony — we own and maintain the hive and technology.

🏙

Councils, Universities & Corporates

Fully managed. Zero beekeeping knowledge required.

Fully managed hive on your premises with a live data dashboard. ESG-verifiable. Qualifies as measurable pollinator habitat under UK Biodiversity Net Gain and AU equivalent programmes. Our beekeeper handles everything.

Growers & Orchardists

Verified forager-traffic data for pollination contracts.

Prove managed hives are working. Forager traffic dashboards give you independent verification of hive activity during critical bloom windows — especially valuable as AU feral pollinators collapse post-varroa.

🔬

Research & Academic

Bespoke trial design. Co-investigator arrangements available.

Universities, CSIRO, and government research agencies get instrumented hives with raw data access. Trial design, hive count, and terms negotiated per project. Grant co-investigator arrangements available (AgriFutures, CSIRO ON Prime, Horizon Europe).

Government & Biosecurity

Sentinel tier — national-scale deployment, sovereign data residency.

Federal and state biosecurity agencies get a fleet of monitored hives as distributed early-warning infrastructure. On-device inference — no cloud dependency, no data leaves jurisdiction. Replaces reactive emergency response with months of advance detection.

Schools & Education · Pilot programme

Councils bring science to the classroom.

Subscribe to a Community or Corporate hive package and your partner schools receive a funded science programme — at no cost to schools, no beekeeping knowledge required.

📡

Live IoT hive data

Students access real forager-traffic counts, temperature trends, and colony health signals streamed from your managed hive — the same live dashboard your council uses.

📚

ACARA-aligned curriculum

A four-lesson unit mapped to the Australian Curriculum v9.0 Science and Sustainability strands. Teacher-delivered; no specialist knowledge required. Covers colony biology, IoT data literacy, and biosecurity.

🧩

Hands-on hive kit

A 3D-printed 1:5 scale hive model students assemble in class — nine snap-together parts, no tools required. Designed by our engineering team to make the technology tangible.

How it works

Up and running in a day.

2bee.farm is a subscription, not a purchase. We deliver the complete hive, handle setup, maintain the colony or support your beekeeper, and keep the technology running. You get the data and the bees.

1

Sign a Letter of Intent

Tell us your hive count, location, and goals. No payment at this stage — LOIs lock your place in the first fleet deployment and shape the features we build first.

2

We deliver and set up the complete hive

A qualified beekeeper delivers your hive — box, bees, frames, and monitoring technology already fitted. Placed at your site to meet local biosecurity and registration requirements. Typically under half a day for a standard placement.

3

Your dashboard goes live

Bee traffic, temperature, and humidity streamed to your app.2bee.farm dashboard from the first day. Alerts fire when the colony needs attention. Managed service: our beekeeper responds. Self-managed: you get the data and decide.

Why now

Varroa has arrived.
Free pollination is over.

Australia's feral bee population — which provided free pollination services to every grower on the continent — is projected to collapse by 95% within three years of varroa establishment.

The $325.8M almond industry, stone fruit, canola, and avocados all depend on managed hive rentals that are now in critically short supply. 80,000 hives were already missing for the 2025 almond season.

Early detection — the kind only continuous monitoring provides — is the difference between a treated colony and a dead one. 2bee.farm is built for this moment.

Australia

Varroa eradication abandoned Sep 2023 after 30,000+ hives destroyed. Commercial losses now ~30%/year. Amitraz and pyrethroid resistance already emerging in NSW and QLD as of Jan 2026.

United States

Record 55.6% annual colony loss in 2024–25. Commercial operations lost 62%. Amitraz resistance genetic markers found in every collected varroa sample in 2024.

UK & Europe

~21% UK winter colony loss annually. EU Honey Directive mandatory mid-2026 requires full country-of-origin traceability — sensor-logged provenance becomes a legal requirement and premium differentiator.

Global

Wild-pollinator collapse projected to cost €34B/year globally by 2030 (Nature Communications, 2025). 22 US states introduced 100+ pollinator protection bills in 2024.

Sovereign Sentinel

National biosecurity infrastructure.
For governments that can't afford to be wrong.

Australia spent over $100M reactively on varroa eradication — with no early warning system. Sovereign Sentinel deploys a fleet of continuously monitored hives as distributed national surveillance infrastructure. All AI inference runs on-device. Raw data never leaves your jurisdiction.

On-device inference

Raw acoustic and vision data never egresses to any cloud. Hard requirement for government ICT and defence procurement. No commercial competitor offers this.

Audit trail & SLA

Immutable per-hive event log — FOI and regulatory disclosure ready. 99.5% uptime SLA with 5-day on-site hardware replacement. 7-year data retention.

API integration

Read-only API connects directly into existing government surveillance dashboards. AU ICT panel compliance pathway included. IRAP assessment supported.

Buyer pipeline

NSW DPI · Agriculture Victoria · QLD Biosecurity · DAFF · UK Defra/NBU · NZ MPI · USDA APHIS · EU member states under Nature Restoration Regulation.
