Summary: 

Understanding trends in beepopulations is critical to decifering environmental and ecological changes effecting the health of the planet.

 

We know the insect Pollinator population is in decline so empowering the new Urban Beekeeper with a tool that educates them, creates standardization and tracks information so patterns and trends can become more apparnet. Hopefully resulting in a rebound of the population or at least an increase in the genetic strains of bees

 

Why we are working on this problem: 

Collapse of the Insect Pollinator population has precipitated a new interest in Urban Beekeeping. Our app creates an easy means to record a hive inspection helping NewBee beekeepers learn skills, track patterns and forcast trends. Collecting data unifies decentralized beehives into understandable and actionable information.

What we accomplished during the event: 

We have the foundatation of a tool to gather data and assist new urban beekeepers, part metrics, part standardized data collection and easing the barriers of entry into urban beekeeping.
