Imgut® Beehive Status Indicator

NEW to our product range

Product Description: Imgut® Beehive Status Indicator

The Imgut® Beehive Status Indicator is a practical hive accessory for beekeepers who want to keep track of multiple colonies in an organized manner. Attached directly to the hive entrance, it displays the current status of the bee colony at a glance and replaces loose notes or separate colony tracker cards.

With six clearly defined status options ranging from “Strong and Healthy” to “Dissolution,” the card supports structured hive management and helps consolidate important information directly at the hive.

Function

The hive card is attached to the hive with three screws and can be operated quickly and intuitively. By simply switching the display, you can indicate the current condition of your colony—for example, aggressive bees, no brood, no queen, or a queen in a cage. This way, other beekeepers on the team can immediately see what to look for during their inspection.

Special Features

  • Six status options: Aggressive bees, strong and healthy, no brood/no queen, queen in a cage, poor development, disbanded
  • Direct labeling on the hive without separate notebooks
  • Universally applicable to nearly all standard hives
  • Weatherproof and UV-resistant thanks to durable plastic

Advantages

  • Better overview in the apiary: Each hive is clearly labeled
  • Saves time during inspections: Status is immediately visible—no need to flip through notes
  • Team-friendly: Ideal when multiple beekeepers are working on the same colonies
  • Durable thanks to hard-wearing material
  • Easy to attach to the hive with three screws
