BroodMinder Hub - Cell

BroodMinder Hub - Cell (T91)
The BroodMinder-T91 is designed for beekeepers who want to monitor their hives around the clock. This unit listens to data from up to 80 BroodMinder devices in an apiary and automatically sends updates to MyBroodMinder.com. Equipped with a universal SIM card, the -T91 is ready to use immediately—just power it on and start tracking hive conditions from anywhere in the world.

In October 2024, BroodMinder reorganized its product line to offer two distinct -T91 models, each tailored to different beekeeping needs:

BroodMinder-T91 Weather

• Integrated Weather Sensors: The -T91 Weather features built-in temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors, giving beekeepers accurate readings of external apiary conditions.
• Solar Shield: The device is housed in a protective solar shield, which can be mounted on a tree, post, or placed on top of a hive.
• Rechargeable Battery: Because there is no solar panel, the -T91 Weather requires recharging approximately every 6 months.

BroodMinder-T91 Solar

• Solar Charging Kit: The -T91 Solar includes a solar panel and battery system that charges continuously, removing the need for manual recharging.
• Weatherproof Housing: This design is fully enclosed to protect the electronics, meaning the -T91 Solar does not include integrated weather sensors.

Additional Accessories (coming soon)

• -T91 Battery Pack 
  The battery pack makes it easy to recharge the -T91 Weather without removing it from the solar shield. By plugging the battery pack into the charging port and placing the T91 (with battery) back in the shield for at least four hours, users can maintain continuous data reporting every 4–6 months.

• -T91 Magnetic Mount
  A strong magnetic mount attaches to the base of the solar shield, allowing secure placement on metal surfaces such as hive lids.

• -T91 External Antenna
  For areas with poor cellular reception, an external antenna can boost signal strength. BroodMinder recommends contacting them directly for more information on compatibility and installation.

MyBroodMinder-Premium Subscription

A MyBroodMinder-Premium subscription is required for the -T91 hub to function, covering features such as automatic uploads and real-time data access. This subscription is managed through a MyBroodMinder.com account and is not included in the purchase price of the -T91.

SIM Card

Every BroodMinder-T91 includes a universal (works in Canada) SIM card with a 10-year or 500 MB cellular data allowance, sufficient for typical hive installations for over five years. Beekeepers who require additional data can upgrade as needed.

Installation and Setup

Complete installation instructions are provided in an updated user guide and a 2022 instructional video. With BroodMinder’s streamlined design, beekeepers can quickly set up the -T91 and begin monitoring hives, whether in a backyard apiary or a more remote location.

From solar convenience to integrated weather monitoring, the BroodMinder-T91 series offers flexible solutions to keep beekeepers informed and their hives thriving—all in one simple, powerful hub.
