-Yhe idea is to print (3D print?) these textures as a flexible, hollow jacket/bag that can be clad around the torso of the beehive. The bag would than be filled with photosynthesesing micro-algae that provide energy for the sensors in the beehive:

+=====JRC/Balint=====
+For the Sensorial Skin project I will collaborate with the Open BioLab in Brussels and I’ll work together with a masterstudent in molecular biology. We will research if we can work with bacterial colonies (living on the outside of the beehive) that are sensible to pollution (or pesticides) brought over by the bees when they come back from their foraging flights.The bacterial colonies should react by expressing a change of color.
+I did similar research in vitro in the lab - and the principle works - but for now we will work on a setup for outside. We are now looking into the direction of photosynthetic bacteria (Cyanobacteria) but maybe we'll end up with synthetic biology.
