VIVE BEE EDUCATION
An Educational Beekeeping Hive and System
Vive is an interrelated beekeeping service and beehive, harmonious in purpose and form, which aims to educate new beekeepers and close gaps between knowledge and application. Humans rely on bees to pollinate 70 % of the staple crops that provide 90 % of the world’s food. Unfortunately, the populations of wild and domestic honey bees have drastically decreased within the past three decades, due to pollution, disease, pesticides, and natural habitat loss. This decrease could contribute to a potential loss of fruits and vegetables that are vital to the human diet. Vive demonstrates the connection between bee health and food supply while informing users about the environmental concerns associated with bee population loss. This beekeeping system increases awareness among Vive users, in the hope of generating greater action toward environmental efforts on all fronts. Vive is a proactive effort to educate people about the ecological impact of bees and to encourage colony populations to thrive
