Season 2 Episode 3: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – BeeCube: An Apiary in a Box with Herman van Reekum
We discuss an unusual housing concept for honey bees. Our guest, Herman van Reekum, has designed a BeeCube, which can house about 32 colonies of honey bees in standard Langstroth frames. The unit somewhat resembles bee houses used in parts of the Alps but has technology and electronics similar to the BeeWise Technology units developed in Israel. We discuss these types of honey bee houses and look at applications relevant to Canada.
Herman's attractive BeeCube is almost entirely natural, recyclable wood and can be moved as a unit, making it possible to slide the cube, packed with over a million bees, on and off a 6-wheeled flatbed farmtruck or trailer. Electronic sensors add to the utility, allowing remote hive monitoring.
