Protecting Pollinators,
People & the Planet
Innovation at the Service of Bees
The World Bee Project CIC is the first private initiative in the world that supports, connects and amplifies new technologies and scientific study to improve the health and wellbeing of bees and other pollinators.
Innovative Data Driven Solutions
The World Bee Project is developing data driven innovative solutions that address pollinator health challenges in cities as well as in smallholder farms and agriculture and food supply chains.
We Need Bees
Over 75% of the nutritious food we eat depends on pollination. Pollination sustains global food security, crop production, farmer livelihoods, wild plant diversity, ecosystem balance, healthy soils and clean air.
Connecting Hives, Connecting Lives
The World Bee Project uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT), and works with local communities and global organisations to merge social, environmental and economic benefits to positively impact the future of Pollinators, People, and the Planet.
The Bees Need Us
Mission
Our mission is to blend Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cutting edge computing technology with world leading bee research to safeguard global pollinator populations.
Vision
Our vision is to deliver state of the art knowledge directly to the hundreds of millions of smallholder farmers around the world to enhance the contribution of pollinators to food security, farmer livelihoods and national economies. The World Bee Project’s greater vision is to place the natural world at the heart of public policy and enshrine environmental protection in national constitutions.
“Technology is changing the game for conservation efforts. Using cloud-based technology, The World Bee Project is going to have a truly global, real-time view of bee population health for the first time. This will arm researchers with the information needed to work with governments and beekeepers to help reduce the decline in honey bee populations.”

The World Hive Network©
The World Hive Network© is the world’s first global bee database. Powered by Oracle cloud services, it uses AI, IoT and Big Data driven technology to gather real time bee ‘intelligence’ from monitored hives all over the world.
World Bee City©
World Bee City© seeks to regenerate cities by harmonising landscapes. It is a global initiative to transform urban design by placing pollinators at the heart of urban landscapes to enhance the wellbeing of all residents, people, bees, butterflies, birds and wildlife.
World Bee Mark©
The World Bee Mark© is awarded to industry & business applicants that adopt practices to improve bee & pollinator health & human wellbeing. We are developing the certification criteria with Peterson Control Union.
World Bee Education©
World Bee Education© uses Precision Apiculture to start making it attractive to smallholder farmers and beekeepers to adopt sustainable pollinator-friendly practices to increase their crop and honey yields and improve their incomes.
