Catch Problems Before They Cost You a Colony

Most hive losses are preventable. The difference between a thriving colony and a failing one is consistent, expert observation — both during scheduled visits and between them. Anointed Apiaries combines rigorous hands-on hive inspections with tech-forward smart monitoring to give your bees the most comprehensive care available.

Every inspection is performed by a trained beekeeper using a disciplined checklist. And between visits, Govee smart sensors installed inside the hive send real-time alerts to your phone the moment temperature or humidity deviates from optimal range.

What's Included in Every Inspection & Monitoring Visit

• Thorough frame-by-frame inspection of brood pattern, queen status, and colony population.
• Varroa mite load assessment using alcohol wash or sugar roll methods.
• Nutritional store evaluation: honey and pollen reserves checked against seasonal benchmarks.
• Hive space management: supers added or removed to prevent overcrowding and swarming.
• Entrance activity observation: foraging behavior, pollen loads, and defensive posture.
• Detection of disease indicators including American Foulbrood, Chalkbrood, and Nosema.
• Govee smart sensor data review: internal temperature (target 32–35°C) and humidity logs.
• Real-time smartphone alerts configured for dangerous temperature drops or humidity surges.
