What We Do

‘There’s enormous potential for The World Bee Project to leverage emerging technologies and the cloud
to drive the entire business ecosystem towards one which promotes bee health and farmer prosperity.”
Andy Clark, Oracle

To help find long-term solutions that benefit nature and people, we harness the power of bee and pollinator-derived intelligence to address wider issues of biodiversity, climate change, food security and human well-being.

We use sophisticated IoT sensors and Machine Learning algorithms to capture and analyse hive temperature, humidity, acoustics, and bee flight data and enhance it with weather and satellite data to produce detailed information on the state of bee health and biodiversity in each ecosystem or environment being monitored. The data is added to our World Hive Network© platform.

It is only when the data from hives in different environments in regions across continents can be captured securely and integrated with third-party data and made available to beekeepers, scientists, and researchers the world will be ready to make valuable advances in understanding the varying relationships between the health of bees, the services they provide, and the health of their different ecosystems.

How Monitoring Helps

New insights can fill the critical gaps in the scientific understanding of pollinator abundance and its varying relationship with different ecosystems. Sufficient quantities of data can help create predictive models to alleviate potential future stresses and play a significant role in enabling scientists and governments to mitigate threats to climate stability, food security, and human well-being. New insights can also contribute to best practice guidance for government policies on land management.

Monitoring bees and their ecosystems supports global food security, improves pollinator diversity and density, protects smallholder farmer and beekeeper livelihoods, helps mitigate and adapt to climate change, and protects human well-being.
