BroodMinder-W3 weight scale

The BroodMinder-W3 uses 4 force sensors to weigh the entire hive and sits on top of the bottom board for fast, convenient installation. We now recommend using our BroodMinder-W5 in place of this one, but we will still offer the BroodMinder-W3 kit until 2026. 400-pound total hive weight measurement 0.01 pound (5 gram) resolution 4 Temperature compensated weight sensors. (4 @ 30" lead length) Stores weight once per hour for 12 months (user configurable) Replaceable AA batteries last 2 years 16.5” x 20” x 2.25” Pine construction (assembled version) Available assembled, partially-assembled, or as a parts kit Weatherproof The "Partially assembled, calibrated, fixed feet" version contains all of the parts needed to assemble a hive scale except for the 2x4 support pieces. All of the soldering and electronics are assembled here and the unit is calibrated. Also a swivel foot version of that kit "Partially assembled, calibrated, wooden support, swivel feet"  We now have a "Partially assembled, calibrated, Apimaye swivel feet" version which works well for Apimaye hives. Watch the video here to understand the differences. See the videos on assembly list in the images to the left. The written assembly guide is here. We know this can be complicated, feel free to reach out with questions.
