Float like a bee.
Developing the apiculture of tomorrow.
Last year, over 100 million bees died to flooding and climate change.
And 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 is the first beehive capable of withstanding a naval setting, with capabilities for integrated data collection and energy acquisition.
Novel hive. Same frames.
Same bee spacing. Same happy bees. With internal rails hosting top-bar frames, each individual super can be lined with conventional frames. Beekon is not reinventing beekeeping: we're making it more resilient.

In numbers...
>12.5% of U.S. beehives (~475,000) and 34% of global beehives (~31.5 million) are at active risk, with potential anuall losses of $308.75M (U.S.) and $29.925B (global).
Nuisance flooding has increase by 300 to 900 percent in the last 50 years, and recently even faster, putting more beehives and pollinators at risk than ever before.
76% of U.S. agriculture and 35% of global crops rely on pollinators, contributing to $3.25 trillion in crop output annually.
Crop loss from unpollinated plants remains unquantified and significant, further threatening global food systems.
