Story

 

Bee box integrated with IoT sensors to support and elevate honey bee colony loss. Specifically aimed at these issues

 

Long-distance transportation of colonies

 

Winter survival rates

 

Pesticides

 

RF / EMF

 

Transportation and winter survival rates benefit from the BME280 sensor with temperature, pressure, humidity data. The moisture sensor can also relay overwintering solution status (sugar and water) providing sustenance during winter months.

 

The air quality sensor v 1.3 data will let you know if some harmful gasses are present.

Radio Frequencies and magnetic fields can also cause problems, a high pass filter

 

 

was utilized to identify signals above 0.3 GHz.

 

All of this data is able to be displayed over a smart phone or online dashboard.
