A University of Johannesburg (UJ) student has designed an improved system of beekeeping and beehive production to aid in the survival of bees and, by extension, tackle the problem of decreasing pollination. UJ MTech Industrial Design student Ivan Brown’s Beegin concept involves a lightweight concrete beehive – a more durable, low-cost and protective structure than traditional structures. The concept emerged through participatory development with beekeepers and urban farmers.
