Designing SensorsGardening

Gardeners and Master Naturalists

We have the possibility of developing sensors for pollinators like bees, mason bees, and other insects. Our long-range (LoRa) sensors will be able to detect the frequency vibrations of various wing types. With this development, you could gauge the health of your pollinator population.

We are hoping this service will allow master naturalists and master gardeners to gain annual credit hours through their efforts at monitoring and reporting data, similar to the rain gauge reporting programs.

Detecting fungus in Vineyards

We are also developing a community of “makers” who, through collaborative invention, will create new uses for our sensors, including things like monitoring bee populations and other pollinators through the frequency of their wing vibrations.

Are you interested in being either a user or developer? Become part of our community, investigating the biotasphere!
