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
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.
Express interest →Councils, Universities & Corporates
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.
Book a consultation →Growers & Orchardists
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.
Secure your allocation →Research & Academic
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).
Register research interest →Government & Biosecurity
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.
Contact us →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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
~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.
Wild-pollinator collapse projected to cost €34B/year globally by 2030 (Nature Communications, 2025). 22 US states introduced 100+ pollinator protection bills in 2024.
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.
Raw acoustic and vision data never egresses to any cloud. Hard requirement for government ICT and defence procurement. No commercial competitor offers this.
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.
Read-only API connects directly into existing government surveillance dashboards. AU ICT panel compliance pathway included. IRAP assessment supported.
