Beehive Production & Safety Smart Controller

Melisafe is an innovative hive protection and monitoring system against Vespa velutina (Asian hornet) attacks, developed by Atronia in partnership with Meltagus and the Baixo Vouga Forest Association (AFBV).

Why does it matter?

Vespa velutina is an invasive species that attacks beehives aggressively, causing severe losses.

Global warming has worsened this phenomenon, allowing the hornets to remain active during winter.

This predation affects honey production, colony health, and biodiversity balance.

Why choose Melisafe?

Continuous, non-invasive protection of the colonies with an eletric shock shield that stops the vespa velutina from attacting the entrance of the beehive.

Reduces mortality and stress in bees. Happy bees make more and better honey.

Increases productivity and sustainability in beekeeping with sensors that allow you to track bee’s activity and honey production. Know, for sure, which queen produces more.

Reliable data collection for research and optimisation of apiculture, allowing you to make necessary adjustments on time.

Get alerts of suspicious activities, that will protect your beehive from tempering or larger animals with Melisafe’s motion sensors.

Create a comparison model to track production and have AI assisted insights.

Track maintenance and interventions with Malisafe’s Beehive logger.

Melisafe - the sweet spot between Beehive Smart Safety & Honey Production

Vespa Velutina.

Vespas fly near the beehive’s entrance to attack bees.

SENSBLUE SUNBIRD

harnessing the power of the sun, SUNBLUE SUNBIRD will provide power to the eletric shock harp.

Eletric Shock Harp

Functioning like and eletric shock shield that is at fitted at the right size as to allow bees to enter the beehive but stop the bigger Vespas.

Vespas get shocked

Melisafe’s Harp stops Vespas by giving them a powerful shock that stops the attacks and makes them fall underneath.

Melisafe’s Gateway

Melisafe’s SENSBLUE SUNBIRD gateway collects data from the entire Melisafe Beehive system and connects it to the SENSBLUE.Cloud plaform, so you can keep an eye on your beehive remotely.

  • Autonomous, solar-powered system, easy to install and maintain.

  • Smart electric harps block hornet access while allowing bees to pass freely.

  • Real-time counting of electric discharges, letting beekeepers know if and when the hive is under attack.

  • Transforms any hive into a smart hive with integrated sensors for:

    • Weight (to monitor honey production)

    • Temperature and humidity (for environmental control)

    • Vibration (to assess colony well-being and activity)

    • Motion (to alert tempering activity)
  • Dashboards enhanced with AI and data mining, supporting decision-making, predictive maintenance, and automatic alerts.
