What we've done
Preliminary research on:
- Bee biology & global change
- human-produced electromagnetic fields & bee navigation/ communication
- pesticides, parasites, and pathogens
Interviewed beekeepers and researchers in order to:
- Better understand the users' needs
- Gauge how realistic the proposal is
- Collect input from experts in the field and modify the project accordingly
Implemented temperature, humidity, and weight sensors:
Began building a Node.js web platform to display and analyze data in real time as it is sent from the sensors. Current interface design (liable to change):
![]()
eHive
Device that monitors weight, temperature and humidity inside the beehive. Also counts bees coming in and out and send the data trough LoRa.
