Algonquin College is using some new Ottawa-based tech to monitor its bees less intrusively, and the company behind the tech hopes it might one day help backyard beekeepers everywhere. The college maintains five hives, four of which were just recently set up. To monitor the hives, TwelveDot Labs installed a series of sensors that capture humidity, temperature and sound levels, powered by a solar panel. CBC Radio associate producer Deborah MacAskill, left, and chef David Fairbanks, right, check out the college's hives in protective gear. This solar panel powers the sensors that monitor the hives.
