Each beekeeper must choose weather stations according to their own needs, investment, and budget.
Regardless, you’ll need a sturdy device that can take the yearlong outdoor conditions—one with a strong autonomy so you won’t need to change the battery regularly or in the middle of a season, and one that’s easy to set up and transport for the moving period.
Don't forget: weather stations can be subject to theft, and beekeeper’s will typically install them far from their actual dwelling. Thus, you’ll want to be certain your weather station has a GPS locator. Finally, the best weather stations can share data about more than just the weather!
For example, a weather station that can transmit data from other sensors such as hive scales as well would be handy indeed for beekeepers. This is exactly what BeeGuard proposes. Its Weather Station is adapted to beekeeping, heavy-duty, and light. It touts a simple and fast installation on a stand and an autonomy up to four years.
