Installation is super easy because we set everything up before shipping.

  • We recommend you test everything before you take it to your apiary.

  • You will get an email from BroodMinder when we ship the hub. If you don't then check your junk email folder, or contact us. The email has instructions on connecting the hub to your account. There are two cases.

  • If there is a link in the email, then click it and you will be guided to connect the hub to your account and claim the one year token which is included with purchase.

  • If there is not a link, then we assigned it to your account before shipping.

  • When you get your hub, turn it on. There is a slide switch

  • Go to MyBroodMinder.com, choose Configure and expand the Hubs section. This is where you can manage your hub.

  • Click on the Manage icon to assign or move it to an apiary.

  • You must also assign a token. A token is a virtual coin that we use to pay for the 24/7 upload service. You should receive 1 year service with the hub. If you did not, then contact us at support@broodminder.com.

  • After you see it working you can move it to your apiary.

  • If you have a solar T91, then ensure that the gasket is seated correctly when you replace the lid. Also make certain that the solar panel is facing towards the sun for most of the day.

  • If you have a naked T91, then ensure that it is in a weatherproof housing of some sort. We recommend the Lacrosse Solar Shield. We also recommend that you place the T91 in the mesh bag we include. This will keep out small bugs (such as earwigs) which are attracted to the slight warmth.
