This is the U of T BEES student club. A group I've worked with closely in the past.
The group is made up of students and community members committed to educating themselves and others about natural beekeeping, pollinators and the production of local honey.
The club provides a rare space within Toronto where anyone can participate and learn the skills of natural beekeeping within an urban context.
The Constitution for the club indicates that it shall be the purpose of U of T BEES to allow students an opportunity to learn about the age-old tradition of beekeeping and the role that bees play in sustaining a healthy ecosystem.
The club seeks to highlight the importance of urban beekeeping as a means of encouraging the survival of pollinators responsible for the existence of many plants. Urban beekeeping is very much an active way to save the bee population, which is so important as they are experiencing a decline in numbers due to unsustainable agricultural practices and global climate change.
U of T BEES also provides a unique opportunity for students to connect with nature, learn about the process of honey creation and participate in the production of local food.
WHAT IS HIVE HEALTH ?
The Hive Health system brings to beekeeping a non-intrusive insight into what is happening in the hive. The system logs, displays and predicts issues related to the health of a honeybee hive with inside and outside sensors monitoring honey accumulation weight, hive activity, temperature and possible swarming. For our Hive Health product, data is collected with a variety of sensors, displayed, stored and then analyzed with alerts then sent to the client.
