Gratheon Research
Gratheon Research is a working knowledge base for digital beekeeping: academic literature, field datasets, machine learning models, and engineering experiments connected in one place.
We focus on applied research in bee observability, colony health, computer vision, IoT sensing, and automation. These threads inform ongoing work on Entrance Observer, the robotic beehive, and AI-assisted analysis in the web app.
