Why Are the Bees at Risk?
Every year, pesticiedes, disease, and climate change
cause the death of 40% of bees. Given the importance of bees on the planet, This is a very alarming
number. Beekeepers not noticing the warning signs in a colony plays a major role in this.
Even worse is that all this death could've been prevented using an emerging technology
called the "Beewise Beehome".

What is the Beewise Beehome?
The Beehome is a storage unit for bees where they can
be monitored. All 24 in the colonies in the beehome can live safely under the watch of cameras, sensors,
and robotic arms that will do the job of a beekeeper autonomously. This 2.5m x 2m x 2m container is
catered to Commercial Beekepers that are managing 1000+ colonies. When the sensors detect a problem,
it does more than use it's climate control. The robot acts accordingly and the colony can be saved.

How is the Beehome Saving Bees?
If a pest like Varroa is detected by the robot,
it will treat it in real-time. Likewise, if a pest that cant be seen by the naked eye leaves a
visible effect on the colony, the robot notices and will apply treatment. Treatment involves
momentarily heating the container to a temperature that will kill the pests but not harm the
bee's blood. The hives are fed by the robot through a feeding container. The container was created
with transportability in mind, but will also lock down its entrances when it detects harmful field
substances, display it's GPS if it detects a theft in progress, and notify the owner through email
or text when either of these happen.
