BeeMon enables early detection of hive health issues through continuous monitoring and real-time alerts, helping prevent loss of honeybees.
BeeMon operates in a large and underserved beekeeping technology market with a $230M U.S. TAM across all beekeepers, a $77M SAM focused on hobbyist and sideliner beekeepers, and an 8M SOM by 2030, assuming ~10% market share. The global beekeeping technology market is estimated to exceed $6B.
BeeMon targets the ~125,000 beekeepers in the U.S., starting with hobbyist and sideliner beekeepers who need affordable hive monitoring tools, with future expansion to commercial beekeepers managing large apiaries.
