Episode 93 of Augmented Reality with Fexingo explores how urban beekeepers are adopting AR glasses to monitor hive health and combat colony collapse. In New York City, a pilot program with 30 rooftop apiaries uses smart glasses to overlay temperature, humidity, and mite-count data directly onto the beekeeper's field of view. Lucas and Luna discuss the specific hardware — Vuzix M4000 — and the software platform HiveMind, which uses computer vision to count Varroa destructor mites in real time. Early results show a 40 percent reduction in colony losses compared to traditional inspection methods. The conversation also touches on cost barriers, battery life limitations, and whether this technology could scale to commercial agriculture. No ads, listener supported. This is a focused, practical look at one niche where spatial computing is solving a real-world problem. #ARGlasses #UrbanBeekeeping #BeekeepingTech #SpatialComputing #VuzixM4000 #HiveMind #VarroaDestructor #ColonyCollapse #PrecisionAgriculture #ComputerVision #IoT #SmartAgriculture #SustainableCities #TechForGood #NYCBees #FexingoBusiness #TechnologyPodcast #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
