Beehome is Beewise’s newly designed beehive that includes precision robotics, computer vision and AI.
A third of all the food produced in the world is pollinated by bees. Furthermore, 71% of the crops of vegetables, fruit, seeds and nuts are pollinated by bees. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services has estimated that in 2016, between $235 billion and $577 billion worth of annual global food production relied on direct contributions by pollinators.
What’s killing such an important component of our food supply? Intensive agriculture, widespread use of pesticides, pollution caused by waste, new diseases and pests, urbanization, and climate change. A long list of factors which will continue to reduce the bee population unless beekeepers get the help they desperately need.
Beewise currently manages more than seven billion bees, which equates to 25,000 acres of pollinated crops. The company estimates that with Beehome has saved over 160 million bees over the course of the last 12 months. Last January, Beewise announced a $80 million funding round, led by Insight Partners, with participation from Fortissimo Capital, Corner Ventures, lool ventures, Atooro Fund, Meitav Dash Investments Ltd, and Sanad Abu Dhabi.
For beekeepers, some of them a second or even a fourth generation managing bees and beehives, a solution that saves their business comes as a great relief, promising to reverse the alarming trend. Expressions of relief will be heard not only from beekeepers. According to the USDA, one colony of honey bees isIt is a shining example of using AI and cutting-edge technology to augment—and in this case save—a traditional industry which plays a very important role impacting the quality and quantity of what we eat....
