Current priorities
The first ApeTerra pilot needs a compatible village territory, an interested municipality or landowner and an established beekeeping company.
Municipalities and villages ↗ Professional beekeepers ↗ Sponsorship packages ↗A low-consumption solar kit can capture selected hive audio, observe the entrance and send approved media or optional sensor data for education and supporter reports.
Join the ApeTerra crowdfunding: with contributions from €25 you can adopt symbolic Bear pixels and help build the first real artistic, technological and productive apiary.
With the crowdfunding you can adopt symbolic €25 pixels: each pixel supports the real construction of the first apiary.
Protected microphones, a low-power camera, optional sensors, solar energy, local storage and a suitable data connection form one maintainable system.
Every component must be low-power, protected from humidity and accessible for maintenance.
Scheduled or event-based hive sound captured through an accessible moisture-protected capsule.
A low-power entrance camera with optional temperature, humidity, weight and noise measurements.
A small solar panel, charge controller and stable battery selected for local conditions.
4G, LoRa or Wi-Fi with local storage when the network is temporarily unavailable.
Raw media, approved media and public content remain separate.
Register the kit, identity, energy profile, connectivity and maintenance responsibility.
Record scheduled clips or controlled events rather than permanent high-bandwidth streaming.
Store locally during outages and upload compressed media through authorised connections.
Share only selected media and clearly labelled data with dates and current device status.
We are looking for practical experience in low-power audio, cameras, solar energy, connectivity and field maintenance.
