SAMS Business Models in the EU
| Business Model Name and Start-Up Name | Contact Person | Summary | Business Model Canvas |
| Beehive Monitoring System (merged of three SAMS business models: Observe you Hive, Monitoring of Bee Colonies for Queen Breeding, Rent a Hive) by UNIKAS | Sascha Kirchner | There are existing projects which offer to adopt a bee colony https://www.planbeeltd.com/. Usually there is no direct access to the hives rented by the customer. With this HIVE monitoring system, customers could observe all relevant data (weight, flight activity, acoustics) in real time. An additional camera would also be possible. The customers who rent a beehive can always observe their colony and there is a considerable added value compared to an anonymous sponsorship.
The HIVE system can assist beekeepers also in their queen breeding choices. With the help of sensor data, desired breeding traits can be detected earlier and more precisely. In order to obtain more bee data from different regions, HIVE systems are loaned to interested beekeepers. The received data will be evaluated and can be used by both sides (scientific and application-oriented). |
