FROM IDEA TO REALITY

To begin the design, the functionality of the design was developed, as seen in the diagram below. The basic idea of the mechanism is to attract the bees, using a pheromone, to the detection system. This will send an output signal to the control which will then release output to the trap (contain). Once the bees have been trapped a signal will be sent to communication to contact the user that the bees have been captured. Moreover, the power source will power the whole system, and the structure of the system is designed to improve the likeness of attracting bees and containing them.  

OUR MISSION

Redefining the Way 
We Move

Once we defined a clear solution idea, we applied our engineering knowledge to transform it into a real product. These were some of the important design challenges and how we approached each one of them: 

Challenges

Efficiency: 

Efficiency is a crucial aspect of the automatic honeybee trap, and it must capture bees constantly and effectively. To ensure this, we will program the trap to sense when bees land on it and promptly trap them. This will enable the trap to function without any delays, which is crucial for capturing bees before they fly away. 

Ventilation: 

​The well-being of bees is critical, and we must consider it when designing the trap. As the primary goal of this project is to protect and reproduce bees, proper ventilation is necessary. We must ensure that the trap provides enough airflow to keep the bees alive until the beekeepers arrive. Since we do not know when the beekeepers will arrive, the trap must have sufficient ventilation to prevent bees from suffocating.
