01:00:00.300 --> 01:00:01.166
Historically,

01:00:01.166 --> 01:00:04.333
beekeeping has been an integral part of human agriculture.

01:00:04.699 --> 01:00:06.566
However, around the world,

01:00:06.566 --> 01:00:08.833
such as Colombia, Singapore, and Australia,

01:00:09.266 --> 01:00:11.866
we see emerging bee industry challenges brought

01:00:11.866 --> 01:00:13.033
by uncertain weather,

01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:15.766
urban pollution and invasive species.

01:00:16.466 --> 01:00:18.199
Introducing WeeHive initiative,

01:00:18.566 --> 01:00:21.233
a data-driven, collaborative beekeeping platform,

01:00:21.500 --> 01:00:23.733
derived from intensive research and discussion

01:00:23.733 --> 01:00:24.966
with actual beekeepers.

01:00:25.566 --> 01:00:26.800
It consists of three parts,

01:00:27.166 --> 01:00:30.133
hardware and software for beehive IoT renovation,

01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:32.533
and a collaborative platform that bounds

01:00:32.566 --> 01:00:34.633
the beekeepers around the world together.

01:00:35.133 --> 01:00:36.633
Now let's experience the life with

01:00:36.666 --> 01:00:38.533
WeeHive as a new beekeeper!

01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:40.966
Everyday maintenance and inspection,

01:00:40.966 --> 01:00:42.066
queen management,

01:00:42.099 --> 01:00:43.366
swarming and grafting...

01:00:43.733 --> 01:00:45.900
Each action requires tremendous amounts of labor

01:00:45.900 --> 01:00:46.900
and mental work.

01:00:47.400 --> 01:00:50.666
WeeHive aimed to reduce such burden.

01:00:50.900 --> 01:00:52.800
In the field, the sensors built within the bee hives,

01:00:52.833 --> 01:00:54.800
create an expandable network that

01:00:54.833 --> 01:00:57.333
will automatically monitor the environmental data

01:00:57.533 --> 01:01:00.433
and upload to the cloud. Beekeepers can leverage the

01:01:00.433 --> 01:01:02.666
power of their phones to capture images

01:01:02.666 --> 01:01:03.900
of the deteriorated honeycombs.

01:01:04.500 --> 01:01:07.199
which are then analyzed by the platform.

01:01:07.199 --> 01:01:09.166
By sharing anonymous images and sensor data,

01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:11.766
beekeepers can work together to detect

01:01:11.766 --> 01:01:13.866
potential issues with collaborative wisdoms.

01:01:14.533 --> 01:01:15.400
Back to the office,

01:01:15.699 --> 01:01:17.566
our dual-identity urban beekeeper can check

01:01:17.566 --> 01:01:20.766
all the data with just a few taps on the fly.

01:01:21.300 --> 01:01:22.000
After work,

01:01:22.266 --> 01:01:24.400
Our beekeeper can further manage and check

01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:27.033
the status of multiple hives using a computer.

01:01:27.300 --> 01:01:29.733
The HiveCenter and HiveManager as admin tools

01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:31.900
to manage multiple and single beehive.

01:01:32.133 --> 01:01:32.766
Moreover,

01:01:32.766 --> 01:01:35.300
the HiveAtlas provides an entry point to a data

01:01:35.300 --> 01:01:36.766
driven agricultural community.

01:01:36.966 --> 01:01:40.133
Users can get expert feedback back by data and photos.

01:01:40.733 --> 01:01:41.633
Driven by data,

01:01:41.633 --> 01:01:43.933
the platform can further predict potential risks

01:01:43.966 --> 01:01:45.533
and provide actionable insights.

01:01:46.099 --> 01:01:47.033
With this project,

01:01:47.300 --> 01:01:48.933
I want to ignite public awareness

01:01:48.966 --> 01:01:51.266
of the long-overlooked agriculture sector.

01:01:51.266 --> 01:01:52.133
Eventually,

01:01:52.133 --> 01:01:54.500
we aim to trigger a smart agriculture community

01:01:54.766 --> 01:01:56.533
with a new generation of farmer groups,

01:01:56.833 --> 01:01:59.400
backed by technologies and survival wisdom

01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:00.933
in the new climate era.

01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:01.800
Thank you.
