Ownership(@ownershipfm):HiveBits founder Nemanja on why the bees are in Bosnia and the R&D is in Serbia "Sometimes people get a bit confused about what's happening. Originally I'm from Bosnia, I was born and grew up there, and my co-founder is also from Bosnia. In Bosnia we already have the bees. My co-founder runs around 200 beehives by himself already." "These are going to be there because we have land, we have human resources, we have properties where we can do all these big operations. So everything is there already." "On the other side, I'm living in Serbia, in Fruška Gora National Park. I run an apitherapy center, and in the apitherapy center I do healing and prevention with bees and bee products. So I heal people with the bee, even with bee venom. We sting people." "This apitherapy center is also our research and development center. So right now I'm going to be in rotation between Bosnia and Serbia, two or three weeks there, two or three weeks here, depending on where I need to be." FT @0xBeeSmart @hivebits

Ownership Report #17#: HiveBits (@hivebits_io) HiveBits is tokenizing beehives, and we got founder Nemanja (@0xbeesmart) on right after their @futarddotio ICO and a roadshow win. Every hive is a node: real bees on top, an IoT device underneath streaming honey yield, hive health and harvest conditions. That hardware takes one beekeeper from 300 hives to 500, and the same data feeds researchers working on colony collapse disorder. The revenue is not just honey either, there is propolis, swarms sold to other beekeepers, and bee venom feeding an $80 billion natural cosmetics market. Plus three pivots, 50 hives presold in Belgrade, and why @MetaDAOProject was the structure that finally fit. Full breakdown below: 0:00 Welcome and what HiveBits is building 1:59 Why beekeeping is usually in your DNA 2:44 From software engineering to hive as a node 3:45 What it actually takes to tokenize a beehive 6:11 Taking one beekeeper from 300 hives to 500 6:45 Bee venom, the king of all bee products 8:29 Three pivots, and the first 50 hives sold in Belgrade 10:31 The farm in Bosnia and the apitherapy center in Serbia 12:41 Colony collapse disorder and 30 percent fewer bees 14:46 Bad seasons, five year averages and data driven beekeeping 16:36 Scaling horizontally, vertically, and through other beekeepers 18:08 Why Western Europe, honey prices and fake honey 19:24 Why MetaDAO and why futarchy 21:50 How the ICO actually went 23:05 Is futarchy founder unfriendly 25:56 What he is most looking forward to Hosted by @8bitpenis Produced by @BlockformerLLC Powered by @MetaDAOProject & @UmbraPrivacy
