A new invention from Canberra here in Australia, would actually pair quite well with the sensor packs to create an integrated, low intervention style of beekeeping.

A couple of my mates went to the launch, and this is real, not a trick. Due to the temperature in-hive the honey apparently drains out surprisingly fast.
