# Bee First Aid Kits The Bee Saver is Intended to Help Rescue Dying Honey Bees and Raise Awareness By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-09-12 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dying-honey-bees References: [fastcoexist](http://www.fastcoexist.com/3035305/an-adorable-tiny-first-aid-kit-so-anyone-can-help-rescue-the-bees) & [jamesdysonaward.org](http://www.jamesdysonaward.org/projects/bee-saver/) This project aims to raise awareness about dying honey bees and colony collapse disorder by providing the species with a small first aid kit. Designer Hady Ghassabian Gilan is an aerospace engineering student at the University of Padua in Italy. The Bee Saver gadget is a plastic container filled with artificial nectar that is attached to a keychain for easy access. If you are going on a walk and see some dying honey bees, you can set the Bee Saver down near them and they will hopefully come and have a drink. The biodegradable bio-plastic container is also shaped like a flower, so it will look even more appealing. The functioning prototype is an entrant in the James Dyson Award competition. The creator hopes to launch a crowdfunding campaign for it as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dying Honey Bees:** Opportunity for the development of innovative solutions to combat colony collapse disorder and save honey bee populations. - **First Aid Kits:** Potential for the creation of new and specialized first aid kits tailored specifically for honey bees and other insects in need of rescue. - **Awareness Campaigns:** Room for the implementation of creative awareness campaigns that highlight the importance of honey bees and their role in ecosystems. ### Who This Affects Most - **Environmental Conservation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create sustainable solutions for the protection and preservation of honey bee populations. - **Consumer Products:** Opportunity to develop and market consumer-friendly bee first aid kits and related products. - **Eco-tourism:** Innovative potential to incorporate bee-friendly activities and educational experiences into eco-tourism offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Beehive Farming Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2035-moving-beehive-mobility.md) - [Educational Insect Puzzle Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makerkid-kits.md) - [Bird-Aiding Biodegradable Splints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdaid.md) - [Wildflower Honey-Holding Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beemax.md) - [Honeybee-Themed Fragrance Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alvari-collection.md) - [Urban pollinator architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/host.md) - [Recyclable Honey Sachets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-snap-and-squeeze.md) - [Smart Nature Observatories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-nature-observatory.md) - [Pollinator-Supporting Jewelry Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birks-for-bees.md)
