The goal of the project is for students to be able to measure the activity of the 30,000 bees inside the hive.
To be able to provide digital information to the beekeeper via an app that registers what the bees do and how they feel inside the hive.
- You want to be able to see if you can get an insight into the hive without having to open it, as they have placed hives in many different places in the country, so they hope to be able to compare the data from different hives and where they thrive, what makes them feel good and less good, it is hoped that concrete data can be obtained, says Elin Björck, university engineering student.
Passed a course in beekeeping
Elin Björck is the student who has been commissioned to take care of the 30,000 bees and beehive during the project.
She has now taken a course in beekeeping, and is looking forward to getting to know her new flying acquaintances.
- It is a big responsibility, but above all it feels very fun and I hope that I manage to do a good job as I am very interested in beekeeping, says Elin Björck.
How specifically are you going to take care of all these bees?
- In the near future, I will go here at regular intervals and go through all these frames that we sat in and make sure that they did not take up any new queen cell, and in that case remove it so that the bees do not swarm away.
