Projectdetails

Introduction

3Bee applies technology to MEASURE and REGENERATE ecosystem biodiversity, using bees as sentinels. We collect data through 3 assets:

Data Collection Assets

  1. HIVE-TECH – IoT sensor integrated in honey beehives to measure the health of a colony.
  2. SPECTRUM – Sensor for wildlife monitoring. Thanks to noises sampled and analyzed throughout the year, we monitor pollinators, avifauna, and insects in real time.
  3. FLORA - Satellite data collection with the support of the European Space Agency for agronomic analysis (flora density, flowering intensity).

Biodiversity Index

Then, we quantify a Biodiversity Index through a scientific methodology and select biodiversity regeneration projects proposed by the 4,000 beekeepers and growers of our network. Biodiversity enhancement is measured through data on:

  • Nectar potential
  • Honey production
  • Insects’ diversity and frequency
  • Our pollination abundance index

This enhancement is certified by means of a disciplinary protocol that follows ISO standards (Element-E protocol), and Biodiversity Credits are generated for establishing the benefits associated with regenerative techniques.

Scalability of Methodology

Thanks to our technology and AI algorithms, our methodology is scalable. We can exploit data from an area where our in-the-field sensors are installed to assess biodiversity in a much larger territory.

Customer Benefits

Our first customers are large corporations. They have 4 reasons to buy:

  1. ESG reporting improvement.
  2. Improved transparency of the value chain.
  3. Improved brand positioning.
  4. Improved E-NPS (Employee Net Promoter Score).

By promoting biodiversity offset projects and generating certified Biodiversity Credits thanks to 3Bee, all these needs will be met.
