BeeHero Launches HeroLink to Advance Precision Pollination
A New Era of Gateway Infrastructure for Agriculture
BeeHero (Profile) has announced the release of HeroLink, its latest solar-powered gateway unit designed to aggregate and transmit environmental data from in-field and in-hive sensors to the cloud. The new hardware will debut during Australia’s almond pollination season in July, representing the fifth generation of BeeHero’s gateway infrastructure.
HeroLink’s robust capabilities aim to solve one of the most persistent challenges in agriculture technology: connectivity in remote and rural areas. Using an industry-first multi-frequency internal cellular antenna, HeroLink can reliably transmit data even where conventional reception is unavailable.
“HeroLink isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a critical leap forward in building a resilient sensing network that meets the demands of modern agriculture,” said Omer Davidi, Co-Founder and CEO of BeeHero.
HeroLink Enables Scalable, Solar-Powered Data Collection
Enhancing Sustainability and Connectivity
Designed with solar-powered, rechargeable architecture, HeroLink improves energy independence and reduces the need for maintenance. These enhancements allow year-round deployment across vast agricultural regions, ensuring uninterrupted operation without reliance on local infrastructure.
Each HeroLink unit collects and relays data from multiple BeeHero IoT sensors, capturing metrics such as temperature, humidity, vibration, and sound. The data is transmitted in real-time to BeeHero’s AI-powered analytics platform, delivering actionable insights for both growers and beekeepers.
The new generation also features a sensor-to-sensor data relaying system, enabling a single unit to support a far greater number of sensors over a wider range—reducing costs and increasing spatial resolution.

Powering the Global Million Hives Initiative
HeroLink plays a key role in supporting The Global Million Hives Network, a BeeHero-led initiative launched to build the world’s largest data-driven bee health monitoring platform. With the ability to function in low-connectivity environments, HeroLink significantly expands the reach and granularity of this global network.
BeeHero currently monitors over 300,000 hives, collecting approximately 25 million data points daily. By empowering scalable deployments across continents, HeroLink strengthens food security and pollinator health monitoring in alignment with BeeHero’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments.
Looking Ahead: Data Precision Meets Environmental Responsibility
HeroLink Prepares for Future AgTech Innovation
Future updates to HeroLink will include local light sensor integration, enabling more accurate forecasts for crop yield and pollination quality. These developments align with BeeHero’s mission to deliver sustainable agricultural solutions at scale while minimizing environmental impact through reduced electronic waste and solar operation.
