Bee-Da
A system to mitigate beehive depopulation syndrome (BDS).
Bees are responsible for reproducing much of the plant species of our ecosystem. Pollinate the flowers in spring so that when they reach the summer, each tree will be full of fruits. They are responsible for connecting what gives rise to the life of flowers and the fruits that feed the human being. Currently, a large number of beekeepers are suffering from what is known as "hives depopulation syndrome", which corresponds to the various physical, chemical or biological causes that cause the bees to die.
Bee-Da is a system to mitigate Beehive Depopulation Syndrome (SDC). The system consists of a set of capsules for the reforestation of native flowers and a web page of information on the SDC and guidance on the use of sets. Composed of five tablets of red clay and coconut fiber with seeds of native flowers in three versions, according to geographic area (north, center and south), it has a recycled and pressed paper wrapper.
