What is a Broodminder membership?

A Broodminder membership provides access to advanced beekeeping tools, including hive monitoring and analytics, designed to enhance hive management and support beekeepers.

But beyond the features, becoming a member is also a strong recognition of our work. For the past 7 years, our dedicated team has been tirelessly developing one of the most innovative systems in the beekeeping world. Many of our team members generously volunteer their time and expertise, while our younger colleagues work full-time and rely on a salary. Your membership supports our efforts and helps us continue improving our services for beekeepers everywhere.
