Problem

U.S. growers and beehive owners lose millions annually to beehive collapse.

Market Opportunity

Three-fold:

  • Hardware revenues for replacement of today鈥檚 鈥渄umb" hives with HTS鈥檚 smart hives;
  • Recurring subscription revenues for actionable & real-time hive-health data;
  • Brokering fees to replace the $150 million+ currently paid to non-science based brokers acting as go-betweens to growers and聽hive owners.

Solution

Hive Tech Solutions is developing an innovative system to help beekeepers, growers, and state and federal agencies聽effectively monitor and improve the health and survival rate of honeybees. The company鈥檚 system includes a new hive design and proprietary software based on data collected at CU Boulder to monitor key metrics that indicate deteriorating honeybee health.聽In addition to winning CU Boulder's , the company has also obtained a USDA SBIR grant for over $97,000 to further their research and product development.
