Saving the World (Literally) with Ruby
summary
Two-thirds of managed hives die in Virginia so a low‑cost monitoring rig uses raspberry pi + rails and a webcam plus sensors to record temperature weight humidity, stores CSVs on the device, serves a simple dashing/sinatra dashboard over a wireless AP, and runs on solar panels and a deep‑cycle battery. Initial budget is $175, the project tweets photos, the team raises $12,000 via Indiegogo, teaches classes, and the system provides actionable hive data in real time.
