Meet the Beehive
Powerful on its own, the Sunflower Labs® Beehive System is a flexible drone-in-a-box solution that integrates with your existing security cameras and sensors.
Rapid deployment
After the Hive opens, the Bee takes off in under 5 seconds. Proactively respond to activity on any part of a 4 acre property in under 30 seconds.
Autonomous navigation
Just push a button, and the Bee does the rest: plan a path, perform the sweep, and land safely back in the Hive. No manual drone operation required.
Property map + Geofencing
Thanks to 3D property mapping and geofencing, the Bee navigates and stays within your property.
Real-time obstacle avoidance
The Bee detects unexpected obstacles and re-routes to avoid collision and improve future flight paths.
Proactive deterrence
Actively deter intruders and loiterers with an immediate drone presence.
Object tracking & identification
Get clear visual confirmation through a high quality live video stream, even in low light conditions.
Works in 99% of weather conditions
Whether it’s sun, snow, wind, or everything in between, the Beehive system can operate in almost all weather conditions. Our system always monitors the weather to make sure it is safe to fly.
Reliable landing
The Bee is uniquely designed to reliably and safely land in the Hive each time — even in 30 km/h winds. In an emergency, detailed protocols ensure the Bee lands and disarms safely.
Rapid charging
Once the Bee lands in the Hive, charging is automatic and rapid. Incremental charges are done in minutes, and a fully depleted battery will recharge in just 22 minutes.
