Subject
Bees are little creatures, yet essential to flora and fauna around the globe. Bees are some of the hardest working creatures on the planet, and because of their laborious work ethic, we owe many thanks to this amazing yet often under appreciated insect.
Our lives – and the world as a whole – would be a much different place if bees didn’t exist. To illustrate this fact, consider these numbers: bees are responsible for pollinating about one-sixth of the flowering plant species worldwide and approximately 400 different agricultural types of plant. Thus bees support a large billion euro economy of farmer industry, but more importantly, bees support a wide variety of food for both animals and humans.
However, in recent years, bee population has dramatically dwindled down, mainly because of freezing do death in harsh winters caused by global warming. To indicate the problem: In the last decade, 30% of the bee population in the United States dissappeared already.
In this project, this problem is analysed and a robotic solution like a smart beehive, or robotic bees will be suggested.
