The Polish Ukrainian technology company Amohive, a unique group of Ukrainian and Polish engineers, and The World Bee Project CIC have signed a cooperation agreement to, post-conflict, jointly implement fully artificial intelligence-controlled smart apiaries across Ukraine to educate schoolchildren in informatics and beekeeping to prepare them for careers in high-tech fields such as data science and research in beekeeping, pollination, and agriculture. According to UNICEF, the war has disrupted education for more than five million children, denying children the sense of structure, safety, normality and hope schools provide.
“We are planning joint actions to expand the new trend of smart beekeeping in Ukraine. Young people should be especially interested. Using new advantages in modern agribusiness, obtaining additional synergies for both people and the country – guarantees our competitiveness on the world market. Simply put, combining traditions, ingenuity, and IT is a chance for Ukraine.”
– Igor Kurdin, founder and CEO of Amohive.
To help drive meaningful change for nature, people, and the planet
Amohive launched Ukraine’s first IT Apiary in Kyiv on 01 June 2023. It was funded by UNDP and the Poland Challenge Fund. The IT Apiary is researching pollination and honey production with three species of local bees – Carnika, Carpatka and Sossimai. In 2022, AmoHive won the European Bee Award 2022 in the category “Best Innovative and Technological Solution which can radically change the future of global beekeeping”.
“The invention presented by the AmoHive team will modify the image of beekeeping for at least 50 years to come, just as the inventor Petro Prokopovich changed the world of beekeeping more than 150 years ago! Thank you to the AmoHive team for changing the future of beekeeping.”
