“Lifting up the hood of a Beewise hive feels more like you’re getting ready to examine the engine of a car than visit with a few thousand pollinators. The unit — dubbed a BeeHome — is an industrial upgrade from the standard wooden beehives, all clad in white metal and solar panels. It’s not exactly the romantic vision of a beehive or beekeeper lodged in the cultural consciousness, but then that’s not what matters; keeping bees alive does. And Beewise’s units do that dramatically better than the standard hive…Ellis likened the hives to a Ritz-Carlton for pollinators. That’s a major drop compared to the average annual loss rate of more than 40%, according to Apiary Inspectors of America.”From Bloomberg.
