LoJack your hives ?

[Sarge]

I was just spending some time with my latest pile of catalogs and saw that Mann Lake has a GPS tracker that fits in a hive frame. Sort of a LoJack for bees.
Neat idea, if you have alot of theft.

I think it said "call for pricing", do we know how much it is?

853 bucks each, however, the good news, you get a price break for 10 or more! lol

And I'm kidding, I have no clue! but I bet it isn't cheap...

I would only need it on one or two hives on my bee trailer.

The catalog lists them at $375 each. Runs on AA batteries and gets about 90 days per set of 4. Weighs 3.6 oz. each.
Reports up to 10 times a day and needs a cell phone or wireless internet provider for communication. That is the part you call for pricing on.
Unit fits in a frame under a sheet of foundation out of sight.
