Beecosystem connects brewing and beekeeping using a genetically modified brewer’s yeast that synthesizes hop beta acids. These beta acids will supplement or replace hops in beer brewing and help protect bees from parasitic mites. My contribution to the project was through researching the creation of artificial beehives 3D printed from mushrooms known to boost bee immunity to the varroa mite.
