Combining AI, smart sensors and the world’s largest bee database, BeeHero accurately predicts disorders in colonies, helping beekeepers reduce the mortality rate of bees vital for crop pollination

Since a problem called Colony Collapse Disorder – when the majority of worker honeybees in a colony that leave to look for food don’t return – was identified in 2006, nearly 30% of bee colonies have died every year. The consequences can be dire as about 75% of agricultural crop species rely on pollination, mostly by bees, to reproduce.
California-based BeeHero helps save bees with modern IoT and AI technologies. Its IoT sensor is a small circular device that sits on the beehive frame to monitor temperature, humidity, sound and mite activity in real time. BeeHero’s algorithms use the data to...
