Demonstrate
Our project does not have a finished product that is ready to be deployed in the field. However, we felt that we've accomplished a great many parts of our project and we want to show you what we did. In terms of a demonstration we've accomplished to be able to sense Varroa destructor mites using riboswitches. We can sense the guanine in mite feces and vitamin B12. Which we also tested on crushed up hive fragments. We can not demonstrate the BeeT product in the field, as this would break sugar water conditions, BeeT would encounter when applied, in the lab to check for survival. Additionally, we modeled the impact of BeeT on bee and mite dynamics under real world weather conditions.
