There&#x27;s some good work being done in small niches on bees [0] [1] and others. Are any HN folks working on bee-focused projects that would give their work a shoutout? I&#x27;d love throw in on research, data collection or product development work using my own hives if teams are looking for help.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apic.ai" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apic.ai</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pollenity.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pollenity.com</a><p>edit - links

Heard the same story from a beekeeper in Poland. Some assholes are actually stealing other beekeepers&#x27; hives.<p>Are there any affordable tracking devices with long battery life (a few months) available that could be used to track down the thieves?

Bee theft has a long history, with even Plato talking about it. (Laws 8.843d-e)<p>&gt;And if any, yielding to his taste of bees, secures for himself another man&#x27;s swarm by attracting them with the rattling of pans, he shall pay for the damage.
