🔬 Research

We want to be aware of recent and historical development in research that is tied to bees, observability and machine learning. We are open to collaboration with research and academic institutions (see our docs for more engineering and ML specific articles).

Here we track research papers that are most relevant. For practical and commercial projects see Competition

Teams

World-wide there are several research teams dealing in the area of digital beekeeping

One-time yet very notable works were also in:

  • 🇯🇵 Okinawa institute of science and tech. Hebert L. + Bozek K.
  • 🇧🇷 Federal Tech University of Parana. Alves T.
