WHO WE ARE
OUR SOLUTION
Verifli is a digital hive grading service powered by infrared (IR) image analysis. Our team grades your hives overnight when IR is most accurate and uploads the data to your interactive dashboard. We strive to make it simple to know your hive strength and verify you are getting the hives you paid for.
OUR PURPOSE
Growers have a lot at stake during pollination — we want to help take some of the stress out of the season. We think that they should be able to accurately measure pollination like all their other inputs. Verifli protects growers' bottom line by ensuring that their bees are strong enough to pollinate their crops.
