Multiple organizations have warned that the bee population is declining at an alarming rate worldwide. The global decline in the number of bees is a threat to food security and the maintenance of biodiversity.
In addition, the analysis of the monitoring agencies shows that the market is invaded by counterfeit bee products, such as honey processed or multiplied with sugar.
The Beehive project seeks to solve these two major problems with the help of blockchain technology.
Specifically, users have the opportunity to fund a beekeeping project that helps grow the bee population. In addition, by storing tokens, they are rewarded with quality natural honey, directly from the bees they adopt.
An important industry for the future of humanity
The demand for food increases in parallel with the growth of the global population. In this case, pollinators, especially bees, have an important economic and agricultural role in crop production, as well as a positive effect on biological diversity.
Pollination with bees can bring benefits such as increased production, better crop quality and shelf life, yield stability, and higher commercial value for many entomophilic crops (eg strawberries and apples).
How does it work?
Beehive is based on the idea that interested users can finance the beekeeping industry by adopting their own hive. By purchasing Beehive tokens, they contribute to the healthy development of bees and reap benefits in the form of raw natural honey.
Those who adopt their own hive can monitor bee health with the help of the Hive Tracker and participate in the ecosystem on the BeeHive platform.
They can also learn about beekeeping both by attending specialized courses and by annual visits to inspect the hives.
BHV tokens
The Beehive token (BHV) is built on the Waves platform and a total of 29 million tokens are available. Of these, 4 million BHV were already purchased at the launch of the project in 2018 and 2.5 million were purchased this year by those who adopted their own hive in the first campaign of this type.
If you would like to contribute to the development of the bee population, you can visit the apismellifera and beehivetoken website for details on the project.
