I went around Opensauce with this, which was a fun way to show off a portable battery-powered project without commiting to a booth :P
I recently had the privilege to present this project for the 2026 OSHWA conference!
The event was held at San Francisco's Gray Area, which I previously did a project log for here.
The talk was a big success, with many people approaching me at the demo tables afterwards to read the medical studies and learn more :)

The demo table features:
- Some artwork I made (3 pieces) :)
- my portable Bee Comfy Prototype
- the main cage Beezahut with Bee Comfy climate control upgrades
- tool used for BVT treatments
- printed medical studies showing the efficacy of BVT
