Pollination 2.0: Could machine learning save the bees?
Bees are the guardians of global food security performing 80 percent of all pollination worldwide, but a phenomenon called colony collapse disorder is seriously threatening their numbers and impacting food production. Startup BeeHero has developed a precision pollination service with in-hive sensors where machine learning algorithms report hive health to the beekeepers and farmers in real-time, thus increasing yields and significantly reducing issues with bee health.
