Hive Tech: Utilizing Technology to Enhance Beekeeping Outcomes

As technology advances in all aspects of our lives, the tools we use in managing bees has also been progressing. From what we now consider classic beekeeeping techonologies, like the langstroth hive, to new innovations, including vaporizers, grafting, and hive maintenace apps, beekeepers alike rely on technology to ensure the survival of their apiaries.

Apis Rescue aims to equip beekeepers with the necessary tools for successful beekeeping bringing these technologies to you in our 2025 Louisville Beekeeping and Research Conference. While LBRC is geared towards intermediate and advanced beekeepers, as well as honeybee researchers, even beginner beekeepers can benefit from the extensive talks by top names in the industry. Attending the conference gives you the opportunity to witness some of the best beekeeping content in the United States, presented in Intermediate, Advanced, and Research tracks. The Research track focuses on the latest discoveries and how they can be applied in beekeeping.
