Technology for today’s farmers

Embracing challenges to deliver solutions within the agricultural industry, from field to fork

B-hive work with a range of customers to understand the specific challenges they face, and develop innovative solutions to solve these issues. Our previous experience ranges from in field solutions to storage systems, to post processing value extraction.

We aim to pull technology from industry challenges, rather then push them onto end users.

Please get in touch if you have an industry challenge you would like to discuss.

Intelligence-Led Planning Key To Maximising Yield

AS INNOVATION in the agritech sector continues to move on at breakneck speed, the challenge for growers and farmers is often not that the technology to help them isn’t available, but that they can’t settle on an approach to take. Technology is developing at such a rapid rate that it is a challenge to stay ahead of the curve, with new technologies bringing in new approaches to planning, growing, and harvesting.
