The startup tracks pollination quality in real-time to provide farmers reliant on bees with hyper-efficient pollination.
I tucked into my first ever breakfast in Israel early this Sunday morning faced with a blatantly biblical reminder, but there’s nothing typical about the future milk and honey being developed by the country’s booming foodtech scene.
Pollination is one of the biggest concerns for specialty crop growers, especially as bee populations continue to decline.
The startup measures data from beehives — including temperature, humidity, CO2, sound, and movement data — and analyzes that data to provide beekeepers with alerts about potential issues that could lead to bee colony losses.
The World Bee Project Hive Network will start monitoring beehives using sensing technologies from two UK startups — BuzzBox and Arnia — which will transmit the data they collect into the cloud for analysis.
The Bee Corp develops decision support software that monitors conditions inside a commercial beehive, focusing on utilizing commoditized IoT sensors and data science.
