# Bee-Monitoring Devices The BuzzCloud Helps Beekeepers Monitor The Insects Without Disturbing Them By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-07-04 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beemonitoring References: [treehugger](http://www.treehugger.com/gadgets/buzzcloud-urban-beekeeping-ibuzzhive.html) & [buzzcloud.global](https://buzzcloud.global/) Now more than ever it is crucial that bee-monitoring efforts are as non-invasive as possible and the company 'BuzzCloud' aims to ensure this. By developing the 'iBuzzHive' and an accompanying app that controls it, the company has created a device that mimics the conditions of bee colonies. Sensors in the bee-monitoring device send information to the beekeeper's phone that allows them to monitor the health of the hives and provide functions such as temperature regulation. The bee-monitoring devices could be crucial in negating human impact on these important insects that are at risk of going extinct as a consequence of climate change. Protecting these colonies from threats such as herbicides, pesticides, bacteria and fungus, the iBuzzHive could be crucial for future beekeeping efforts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Non-invasive Bee Monitoring:** The BuzzCloud's iBuzzHive device offers non-invasive monitoring of bee colonies, allowing beekeepers to gather crucial information without disturbing the bees. - **Remote Sensor Technology:** The development of the BuzzCloud's bee-monitoring device demonstrates the potential of remote sensor technology in gathering real-time data from beehives. - **Climate Change Adaptation:** The iBuzzHive's ability to regulate hive temperature and monitor bee health provides an innovative solution to address the challenges that climate change poses for bees. ### Who This Affects Most - **Agriculture:** The BuzzCloud's bee-monitoring technology can revolutionize beekeeping practices in the agriculture industry, helping ensure the health and productivity of pollinators. - **Tech Hardware:** The development of the iBuzzHive device showcases the potential for innovation and disruption in the tech hardware industry, specifically in the field of animal monitoring devices. - **Environmental Conservation:** The non-intrusive monitoring capabilities of the BuzzCloud's bee-monitoring devices offer a valuable tool for environmental conservation efforts, particularly for protecting endangered bee populations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Beehive Farming Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2035-moving-beehive-mobility.md) - [Automated Wellness Monitoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkinbee1.md) - [Smart Nature Observatories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-nature-observatory.md) - [Bird-Like CO2-Monitoring Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdie-1.md) - [SaaS Influencer Marketing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeing-social.md) - [IoT Pest Control Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farmsense.md) - [Habit-Tracking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beebetter.md) - [AI-Powered Mosquito Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bzigo-iris.md) - [AI Pest Identification Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pest-identification-system.md)
