The Challenge.
3Bee has grown rapidly; because of this it needed suitable software to allow beekeepers and honey consumers to manage their beehives and access an e-commerce platform. Through this platform they could purchase various services or products, such as solitary bee houses. There was a need to collect data from sensors to monitor the health and condition of the bees and beehives.
The Solution.
The software for the startup has been designed in two ways, both for the beekeeper and the consumer. The beekeeper has access to a hive management system, and they can:
- Organize and manage their work effectively,
- Set up the entire intervention schedule,
- Monitor the data related to their activity.
On the other hand, the consumer has the opportunity to adopt a beehive and keep it monitored. All of this is achievable through photos, videos, and comments from beekeepers. Finally, a dashboard has been created to display the health status of the adopted beehive.
