Step 1 - Connect Your Wallet

  • Open Bee Maps App

  • Go to Settings

  • Connect Wallet

Step 2 - Upload Options

Depending on which Bee model you have, there are 2 options:

  • LTE Mode — passive and direct from Bee LTE device to Hivemapper

  • WiFi Mode — requires you to connect Bee device via Bee Maps App to offload data from the device and upload to Hivemapper

1. LTE upload

Uploading through LTE is one of the core features of the Bee LTE model.

(a) You will a physical nano SIM card that has data enabled.

(b) Your SIM must have an active data plan, below are the supported carriers by region

Once you have an active SIM card, it’s time to authenticate:

  1. While the Bee is off, insert the SIM card into the designated SIM card slot.

  2. Turn the Bee on

  3. Connect the app with the Bee - leave it connected for 5-10 seconds.

  4. If successful, a pop-up should appear stating “Now mapping with LTE”.

  5. Reboot the Bee.

The pop up notification will only appear once after the initial authentication.

2. App Based Upload

The Bee Maps app can be used to upload mapping data captured by the Bee to the Hivemapper Network. When using this method, the Bee Maps app acts as a bridge between your Bee device and the Hivemapper Network.

To use this method, your mobile device must have cellular data or Wi-Fi and the Bee Maps app installed.

To upload via the Bee Maps app:

  1. Connect to your Bee’s Wi-Fi network using the Bee Maps app.

  2. Once connected, the app will begin downloading collected data from your Bee to your mobile device.

  3. By default, the app will wait for a trusted Wi-Fi network (like your home or office) to begin uploading to the Hivemapper Network. Uploads happen automatically in the background.

    1. To upload using cellular data, enable the option in the Bee Maps app > Settings > App

You can continue using your phone normally during this process.

How to monitor Data Transfer Process?

You can monitor the download and upload progress via the progress bar

  • Click on image preview in Bee Maps app home screen or

  • Settings > Data tab

Uploads are typically faster when the Bee Maps app is running in the foreground and either on the map tab or upload section.

Direct WiFi Upload

This enable a Bee device to connect directly via WiFi to a network rather than connecting via your iPhone or Android.

Once this feature is enabled, we will provide detailed setup instructions.
