Fluxabee - the hive scale that works on its own
Fluxabee, a cellular hive scale with a built-in solar panel.
Hourly hive data, all year round. No charging, no cables, no hassle.
First year of subscription included with the device. One-year door-to-door warranty.
A new era for the apiary: 1 scale per apiary site, not per hive
The competition promises a network of scales under every hive. Fluxabee promises that your apiary will produce more honey.
Expensive scales under every hive are a myth. The cost of that kind of monitoring usually outweighs the benefits - especially when all the hives stand right next to each other and react to the nectar flow in the same way.
The modern approach: 1 scale at every apiary site at least 1 km apart. The Fluxabee scale is your nectar-flow sensor - it tells you what's happening at each location and helps you make decisions about the whole operation.
Real-time nectar flow
One apiary site logs +3 kg per day, while another - 5 km away - shows zero flow and the bees are starting to starve. With a scale at each location you see this difference hour by hour, not only at the honey harvest.
Move them at the right time
A nectar flow lasts 1-2 weeks, and once you subtract days with poor weather you're often left with just a few days of intense foraging - every late day is a real loss. Scales at several locations show where and when to move: with 100 hives that's up to 300 kg of honey per day, so a scale pays for itself in hours.
Honey harvest to the day
The end of a flow can come from one day to the next - the bees stop foraging and start eating their own stores, and honey disappears from the frames. The scale shows that moment exactly, so you plan the harvest at the peak - not by feel or by last season's memory.
Zero. Zero. Zero.
Three things you'll never have to worry about with Fluxabee.
Zero cables
Take it out of the box, switch it on, slide it under the hive. Done. No cables, no loose parts, no fiddling.
Zero charging
The most energy-efficient scale on the market. The solar panel keeps the battery at 100% all year - even when the hive sits in shade.
Zero SIM cards
Built-in Fluxabee SIM card. No carriers, no top-ups, no setup. Works in every country.
From box to first data in 3 steps
Your first readings show up in the app moments after you turn the scale on.
Unbox
Take the scale out of the box. It's one compact unit - nothing to bolt together, nothing to plug in.
- One compact unit
- No cables or wires
- No tools required to install
Can you spot the scale in the photo? It's only 3.5 cm under the hive.
Slide under the hive
Place the scale on the stand and put the hive on top. With a profile of just 3.5 cm the scale is barely visible and doesn't change the look of the apiary, while the open frame inside doesn't block debris falling out from under the hive.
- Barely visible under the hive
- Just 3.5 cm tall
- Open frame inside - debris from the hive falls freely to the ground
See the data in the app
The scale connects over cellular on its own and sends readings to the Fluxabee app. AI analysis cleans the data of artefacts left by inspections.
- Weight reading every hour
- Push when something important happens
- AI separates the bees' work from the beekeeper's
What sets Fluxabee apart
Five details we refused to compromise on.
Solar designed for shade
The solar panel is part of the scale itself - one tight module. You don't run cables several metres to a sunny spot, you don't look for a separate mount. The scale charges itself 365 days a year - even when the hive sits in shade all year round.
- Panel integrated with the scale - one module
- Zero cables to an external panel
- 100% all year
- Shade is no problem
- Works in winter too
- You never have to charge it
Top cellular reception + powerful antenna
We tested dozens of antennas and cellular modems before picking a combination that works even in tough conditions. The scale sends data even where your phone shows one bar and the internet barely works.
- Built-in SIM card (global)
- Dozens of antennas and modems tested
- Works at 1 bar
- Data from the deep forest
- No need to buy a SIM from a carrier
- Reports every hour, 24/7
4 load cells - 1 g precision without hive sway
Competitors compromise: 1 large cell in the middle (the hive sways in every direction), 2 cells (sway is halved but still there), or 4 cheap low-class cells in the corners. Fluxabee uses an industrial-grade C3 cell in every corner - top quality four times over, no compromises. Full hive stability and accuracy down to 1 gram.
- 4 industrial-grade C3 cells in the corners
- Top class on every cell - no compromises
- Accuracy to 1 g
- Full stability during inspections
- Zero hive sway in any direction
Just 3.5 cm with an open frame inside
The Fluxabee scale is the lowest in its class. The open space inside doesn't block debris from under the hive - waste from the hygienic mesh floor falls freely to the ground, nothing to clean.
- Just 3.5 cm tall
- Barely visible under the hive
- Empty space inside
- Doesn't block the hygienic mesh floor
- Debris falls to the ground
- Nothing to clean

Fluxabee app + AI: real nectar changes, not just hive mass
Not just a scale. A full platform for beekeepers.
An advanced algorithm tracking changes in hive weight
The raw weight also shows your interventions - adding a super, removing a frame. Fluxabee AI separates the work of the bees from the work of the beekeeper. You know exactly how much the bees brought in or consumed - hour by hour, 24/7.
Push notifications
Alerts for theft, tipped-over hives, sudden weight drops.
iOS/Android widgets
Apiary data straight on your phone screen.
Charts and reports
Season history, comparisons, trends.
In your language
App in 24 European languages.
More features in one device
Every detail brings real value to the beekeeper.
Hourly readings, 24/7
The scale reports automatically every hour, all year round. You build a full season history without a single manual check.
Tip-over / theft alert
Sudden weight drop at night? You get a push to your phone at the next report - the scale sends data every hour.
External temperature sensor
External temperature and weight in a single view - a fuller picture of the day and the season.
Season history
Hourly data all year long. Compare years and track your apiary's progress.
Optimised feeding
See how much the bees consume and when the colony starts to starve. Feed exactly when needed.
Hive transport planning
With several scales across different apiary sites you know exactly where and when to move colonies.
Premium available to every apiary
We believe a modern hive scale shouldn't be a luxury reserved for the wealthiest - it should be a standard in every apiary. That's why we build a premium-class product and aim for a price several times lower than competitors in the same class.
Industrial-grade components
4 C3-class load cells in the corners, a tested cellular antenna, a built-in solar panel - none of the compromises that lower-priced competitors make.
Solid construction
Laser-cut steel, assembly to a hundredth of a millimetre, zero play. One-year door-to-door warranty - if the scale doesn't work, you get a new one.
A whole platform, not just a scale
The Fluxabee app, AI separating the bees' work from beekeeper interventions, push notifications, widgets and season history - all included with the device.
Choose the Fluxabee Scale and keep your apiary under control all year

An honest pricing model
Most hive scales require you to buy your own SIM card separately for each scale and remember to top it up every month. With us the SIM is built into the electronics, and a single subscription covers 2 scales at once and renews once a year. No buying SIMs, no setup, no risk.
With 2 scales that's already ~EUR 168 a year
- ×Each scale needs its own SIM - you buy it, activate it, install it
- ×~EUR 7 / month × 12 = EUR 84 / year for one scale
- ×You have to remember to top up each card every month - online, by SMS or at a carrier
- ×SIM cards don't handle damp and frost well - over time the connection becomes unstable
- ×No single place to manage cards and packages
- ×Just raw scale data - no app, no AI, no reports
~125 PLN / year per scale - 3× cheaper than your own SIM
- SIM card built into the electronics - it never breaks and you never replace it
- One subscription covers 2 scales (for more scales you add a package with one click)
- Zero monthly top-ups - one renewal once a year
- Works in every country with no roaming and no setup
- Included: access to the Fluxabee app, AI algorithm, advanced reports and charts
- Push notifications, native iOS/Android widgets, season history
