Projectdetails

Introduction

BeeOimpact platform (incl. BeeOmonitoring and BeeOgarden mobile app) is a unique SaaS solution using the bee ecosystem to extract valuable biodiversity data and metrics.

Bee Foraging and Data Collection

Bees forage 4 billion flowers on a circular surface of 80 to 700 hectares per solitary bee nest or colony. They gather pollen from these flowers and bring it back to the bee nest or beehive.

Pollen Sample Collection

We collect pollen samples daily via a device placed outside the hive or in the bee nest. As pollen samples capture air and part of soil pollutants and contain plants’ DNA, we will analyze this data.

Data Analysis

We already have 10 years of aggregated data to feed the AI platform. BeeOimpact will provide an assessment of a site with just one click, without having to analyze the samples coming from each site.

Technology Utilized

Using AI, expert systems, data mining, machine learning, and deep learning technologies, we can determine the origin and assess the level of poorly monitored pollutants and plant diversity level/quality.

Solutions Provided

Then, targeted solutions to enhance biodiversity and lower pollution are provided.
