Problems we are solving
Short problem statement
π‘
Hard, frequent, unscalable work to keep bees healthy for precise pollination and food security
Medium problem statement
Bees are key species for our food security. Farmers are cooperating with beekeepers to combat π»Insufficient pollination and increase yields
But traditional beekeeping requires
ποΈObservability of bee colony, because bees can experience π½οΈColony starvation , πColony without a queen, π§ΆSwarming, π¦Infestations and π¦Diseases which weaken the colony and cause βοΈOverwintering collapse .
Observability is typically solved with a
πͺπ»Physical labor and ποΈTime-consuming inspections. Dressed in a protective suit, in the summer heat, every week, you need to lift 20 kg beehive sections designed 150 years ago and notice small details while you are getting stung by defending bees, πIntrusive inspections.
As your apiary grows, this becomes
πͺπ»Unscalable work. π¨π»βπIndustrial beekeepers have ποΈMultiple apiaries at π²Distant locations that are hard to reach. Existing solutions do not adequately solve these issues

On βsaving the beesβ
We are not focusing solely on saving honeybees as a species, because globally colony numbers are increasing. Ecosystems are complex. We support diversity of plants and wild pollinators.

Note that we use a database for problems in order to link problems with features that will help solving or mitigating them. Beekeeping has a lot of problems. We prioritise some of them to have more focused solution
