 Maes already observed the behaviour of a bee colony monitored with cameras, microphones and sensors in the protected conditions of her outdoor laboratory on the rooftop of her studio. In Hamburg, at the chosen location Entenwerder, the images of these observations will be streamed to flatscreens that are placed in the exhibition space of the Golden Pavilion. Artefacts, models and material studies relating to the different phases of research and development of the installation will be on show. As such, the public will be informed on the complexity of the installation. And moreover than displaying the local bee colony information, the flatscreens in the exhibition will also stream realtime images from a similar beehive in Brussels. As such the artist creates a juxtaposition of urban ecosystems in 2 European cities (Brussels and Hamburg), and these ecosystems are visualised and rendered by the behaviour of  the 2 bee colonies.  All this information can be witnessed by the public on site but also online. The sounds and images, as well as the sensordata collected in the urban environments around the beehives, will be visible in realtime on a webpage dedicated to the project. The artist gave this page the name Connected Open Greens.

 +=====concept of the artwork=====
 The Intelligent Guerilla Beehive is a research project on the edge of art and science. It evokes issues of sustainability and biodiversity, giving viewers an artistic experience of my ongoing research related to the disappearance of the honeybee.
The goal of the Intelligent Beehive is a double one. At one hand it offers a safe refuge for city honeybees, and at the other hand is is a biosensor that interacts with the environment and that measures the pollution of the foraging fields around the beehive.

 The commisioned version of the IGB (working title) is a bio-tech installation customized for public space in Hamburg. The IGB will be populated with a living bee colony and the beehive will be installed (with reservation) at the Entenwerder1 at the Golden Pavillion on the banks of the Elbe. The commisioned version of the IGB (working title) is a bio-tech installation customized for public space in Hamburg. The IGB will be populated with a living bee colony and the beehive will be installed (with reservation) at the Entenwerder1 at the Golden Pavillion on the banks of the Elbe.
 The IGB will remain on the spot for at least 1 bee-season (1 year). The behaviour of the bee colony will be monitored with a camera and the images will be streamed to a monitor that is placed in the exhibition displays (in the Golden Pavillion house). The conditions (Temperature and Humidity) in the bees’ habitat as well as outside in their foraging fields, will be recorded and the data will be streamed to and displayed in the exhibition. The beehive will act as a cradle to cradle device, meaning that it provides its own energy from solar panels placed on top of the beehive, and that it is made out of materials that are renewable. The solar energy will be stored in a battery before powering a microcomputer on which the camera and sensors are connected. A second (?) microcomputer will take care of the streaming of the camera- and sensordata. The IGB will remain on the spot for at least 1 bee-season (1 year).

 +=====meeting at Entenwerter dd. 27/2/2019=====
 +
 +- Dirck: Follow up different production meetings, brassband, communication (posters, flyers)
 +- Gunnar: No time to be involved, but will deliver the bee swarm for the first of May
 +- Dodger: in contact with Guido Lucassen. Waiting for quote. Will work with 1 helper, on Tuesday 16/4.
 +Put ethernet cable, adjust streaming installation, mount sensors, store all electronics in waterproof boxes, car accu, solarpanel setup, ...
 +- Mr. Bätjer: preparing the dalbes, put the hive with crane on top of the dalbes on 17/4. We start at 13pm. High water will be at 16pm. Welding the leg platforms to the dalbes. 
 +Size leg platforms!!! Size solar panel !!!
 +- Carsten: Will take care of the bees. Put them in the hive on May 1st. Will build exhibition showcase.
 +=> ask also for welded structure for solar panel, in right solar angle (Hamburg Lattitude = ±53°, so top angle should be ± 30°)
 +- Golden Pavillion resp. (Alexandra, Jennifer, ...): check if they will be involved in the inauguaration performance on May 1st

 +Imkern unter erschwerten Bedingungen, tideabhängig, bei Hochwasser geht's, bei Niedrigwasser wird's knapp. Die Leiter mussten wir mehrfach neu befestigen. Die Bienen haben ausgezeichnet überwintert. Die Kiste hat 35kg gewogen.
