As a Product Manager at HiveTech, I managed the product development, design, manufacturing, and engineering of the climate controlled containers we built and sold to beekeepers around the country.

I also redesigned the website, branding, marketing brochures, banners, business cards, and graphics.

Other areas of product development included customer discovery, customer feedback, technical troubleshooting, physical construction, and project management.

Honey bees are suffering for multiple reasons; use of pesticides, mites and diseases, migratory stress, and climate change. At HiveTech, we are focusing on the last one, climate change. With inconsistent temperatures during the winter months, honey bees that are kept outside in common Langstroth hive boxes can not keep up with the extreme dips and rises in temperature. Beekeepers in Canada and Europe have used root cellars or other dry storage facilities to store the bees inside of to regulate their winter hibernation climate. Otherwise, they are not able to survive. Last year in Colorado, we had 50% loss over winter.
