Bee Humbled

Bee Humbled.

I designed Bee Humbled a bee drone concept that is accompanied by a site and app. To combat the problem of bee thieves around New Zealand. I began by researching existing solutions and identifying ways they could be improved. Through brainstorming and iteration, the idea of drones came to be, they are shaped and sized to be bee to discreet to avoid detection. Making them a discreet and effective monitoring tool, perfect to defer bee thieves making an attempt.

I continued to delve into the topic of New Zealand's bees and gained some insights that helped me create a question to answer.
