For our final solution to the wicked problem of colony collapse disorder, our group decided to invigorate the market of beekeeping by opening it up to a larger audience. Most beekeepers keep their bees for profit and are in the business of raising them. If we could expand the keeping of bees to be more recreational we could increase the number of bees in addition to the amount of visablility the problems facing bees would garner. Therefore we begun the journey to create a low-effort hive. Our hive comes with many different solutions in order to ease the process of hive setup in addition to hive maintenance by combining existing technologies and soon to be patented technologies. In addition to the hive itself, we have included modular technologies with included garden boxes which will provide sustinance for bees in the nearby area and begin the process of reintroducing naitive plants back into the Cincinnati area to help bees for years to come.
Next steps for us include the raising of funds as well as prototyping and securing patents to the abovementioned technologies. The nature of the patenting process means that there are restrictions on what we can share about our product at the current moment, but stay tuned for more information. Check below for contact instructions.

Sticky Innovation seeks to create a culture of bee friendly attitudes and practices through outreach and other community engagement activities. We seek to disrupt traditional activism by involving 'the masses' in engaging and low-effort ways. By partnering with schools, community governments, and bee friendly businesses, we aim to end the crisis of colony collapse disorder.
Sticky Innovation is an organization that seeks to engage and excite people about bees of all kinds. Through our non-profit education, outreach, and raising awareness. Sticky Innovation strives to increase visibility for nature’s pollinators. Sticky Innovation seeks to engage people in easy, accessible ways by providing ‘bee-friendly’ activities and information. Sticky Innovation also features and promotes bee-friendly businesses. Sticky Innovation works with schools through educational events, as well as city governments by providing easily implementable, bee-friendly tasks. Sticky Innovation will also provide interested parties with resources to keep their own apiary and/or create a bee-garden.

Our Objective
We wanted to make an interactive game that shows the different causes of colony collapse and how these causes can collectively create a wicked problem that requires various solutions. We hope this game would plant the seed of awareness. This game is meant to be simple yet captivating for all ages. This game SHOWS rather than explains the problem .
