Ownership(@ownershipfm):"Bee venom is the king of all bee products" HiveBits founder Nemanja on why pharma and cosmetics want bee venom more than honey "It's used in the pharma industry, especially in some creams, and in the cosmetic industry. This is actually a huge market. It's worth around $80 billion, this natural cosmetics thing. It's much bigger than honey products." "It's also used in some neuro diseases, and mostly now they experiment with that, creating new medicines with it. So it's a really interesting addition to standard beekeeping." "There are some things that need to be fulfilled before you can sell these things to some big companies or to some vendors, but this is something we will dig deeper into and try to bring to the table as well." "In any case, we're starting with standard production, and we're going to bring the value to the table either way. But with bee venom, we can actually increase what we can produce per year."

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
