Bee Venom Harvester UB Won Silver Medal
Bee venom is believed to have efficacy in medicine and beauty. Some are using bee venom as an alternative medicine to cure cancer or use it as cosmetic ingredients. The conventional harvesting of bee venom by killing the bee itself is not very effective.
Taking that into account, Ariq Kusuma Wardana (Electrical Engineering FT) with his three friends; Muhaammad Khuzain (Electrical Engineering FT), Mohammad Euro Anwarudin (FAPET), and Guruh Prasetyo (FAPET) created B-VETRACE (Bee Venom Harvester Device), an Innovative Bee Venom Removal Tool with Wave Electrical Method Integrated with Solar Cell.
Guided by Eka Maulana, ST., MT., M.Eng., the team made this tool to be self-generating energy, that is by utilizing solar cell. “We use the solar cell to run the B-VETRACE system, Basically the tool will emit a certain sound so that the bee thinks of it as a predator so that the bees will release venoms that will be accommodated on the collector in the tool,” said Team Leader Ariq.
