It's a decade since US beekeepers first noticed that their bees were mysteriously dying. Now we know much more about Colony Collapse Disorder, raising hopes that we can turn bees' fortunes around.
With colony collapse disorder continuing to decimate honeybee populations worldwide, it's more important than ever for beekeepers to monitor hive conditions. The Irish-designed ApisProtect system is made to automate the process, potentially catching problems earlier.
This global disaster hasn’t ended yet. More ideas are needed, future tech should help us resolve what needs to be done.
This looks like a solution to the problem of monitoring hives. Anybody used it?
BEEP base sits under your hive and monitors sound, temperature and weight. Looks like this would help us spot where things are going wrong.
