BEE-COME INVOLVED:
Agricultural resilience for a flooding world.
Last year, over 10 billion bees and their crops were lost to flooding and climate change.
These losses continue to increase year by year, threatening 76% of U.S. agriculture and the 35% of global crops entirely reliant on pollination. Hurricanes Helene and Milton destroyed over 200k hives alone.
New problems call for new solutions.
Traditional Langstroth, Warré, Dadant, Voirnot, Kenyan, and Zander hives are incapable of surviving flooding. The Beekon hive system is the first system capable of withstanding a naval setting, with capabilities for integrated data collection.
Novel system. Same hives.
Same bee spacing. Same happy bees. Integrate existing beehives that agriculture relies on with a system that survives flooding. Beekon is not reinventing beekeeping: we're making it more resilient.

200,000 beehives were lost after Hurricanes Helene and Milton alone, equaling more than $100M USD in equipment and colony losses alone in mere days.
>12.5% of U.S. beehives and 34% of global beehives are at active risk, with an annual loss potential of over $29.925B.
Nuisance flooding has increased by 300% to 900% in the last 50 years, and recently even faster, putting more beehives and pollinators at risk than ever before.
76% of global crops rely on pollinators to be produced, contributing to $3.65 trillion in crop output annually.
Crop loss from unpollinated plants remains unquantified and a severe risk to human perseverence on Earth.
