We are a project that through the use of easily accessible technology allows us to generate open data for the study of Solitaire Native Bees through research and citizen science. Bees take care of a large part of the important process of pollination. A Smart Bee Shelter helps ensure a nesting site and data collection for research and investigation. The Smart Bee Shelter has an interactive design component, with an acrylic wall on the sides of the shelter, and doors that allow the visualization of the nesting area. The shelter has laser sensors on the nest entrances, and a camera takes a picture of every action on the shelter and sends it to a database. Other sensors the shelter has are temperature, pressure, humidity, and UVs. This is an open-source and open design project. In our platform airbeenbee.io, you can get complete building and assembling instructions, the ISO file to connect your shelter to the worldwide network and share your data with the community, and education materials to use your shelter as a STEM teaching tool in school. We have more than 20 shelters in education institutions in more than 10 countries including Costa Rica, Canada, Mexico, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Spain, and we are constantly looking for funding to keep fabricating and delivering them to universities, animal sanctuaries, and schools. <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hLdWj7gMqzw?showinfo=0"></iframe></div> <a href="http://www.hoteldeabejas.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.hoteldeabejas.org</a>
