One hive, built to fit however you keep bees, and however many colonies you're responsible for.

The Problem

One configuration doesn't fit everyone

A single backyard hobbyist and a rooftop program managing six colonies do not need the same setup. Most beehive brands sell one configuration and let you figure out the rest.

Three Configurations

Choose by how you keep bees

Wingspan offers the hive on its own, or paired with the Sensor Kit and App for remote monitoring, or bundled with Wingspan Pro for anyone managing multiple hives or reporting on colony health to a group. The table below lays out what's different, so the decision comes down to how you actually keep bees, not guesswork.

Which One Fits

Start with the hive

Best for beekeepers managing a single hive who want the improved ergonomics first, and data second.

Add the System

Best for beekeepers who want to know what's happening in the hive without opening it.

Step up to Pro

Best for programs, associations, or anyone responsible for more than one colony.

Common Questions

You can add the Sensor Kit, App, or Pro tier to a hive you already own later. Nothing about the hive itself locks you out of upgrading once you decide you want the data.
