makers' beehive

Without bees, a third of our food would not exist. They pollinate many plants so they are essentials to our ecosystem health. Unfortunately, researchers have observed a decrease in the number of our little friends for some years. With this bootcamp project, we wish to give to citizens the opportunity to take action by building their own urban beehives. We monitor our beehives using sensors (luminosity, temperature, noise, humidity, CO2 & NO2 levels, videos). The data displayed live on makersbeehives.herokuapp.com allows our beekeepers to remotely ensure the bees’ health and productivity. The connected beehives made during the last bootcamp are now standing on the school rooftop and welcome about 200.000 bees !
