HiveIQ: A Smart Hive from Australia

Season 2 Episode 5: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – HiveIQ: A Smart Hive from Australia

In this episode, we welcome Victor Croker of Australia’s HiveIQ. Victor is a third-generation beekeeper (his grandmother started the business), with 1500 colonies. The bees motivated him and his partners to design a better hive. They wanted something to help honey bees survive Australia’s heat as well as the cold on other continents. The result is a modular hive of a smart and attractive design. 

Our conversation ranges from an overview of Australia’s honey sources, beekeeping history, native bees, and the arrival of Apis cerana to the health of honey bees and the creation of the HiveIQ beehive.
