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.
