BEEP - Open source bee monitoring (v2.0.1)

BEEP is a combination of a bee monitoring (Laravel PHP) framework API + an (Angular JS) app and a (Influx) time series sensor data database. There are also first steps of creating cost efficient measurement hardware.

It's key feature is to integrate a user friendly responsive app for manual inspections with automatically measured sensor data.
