Beewise
Beewise is on a mission to prevent colony collapse disorder. Beewise’s automated beehome brings together robotics, artificial intelligence, imaging, a software platform, and a mobile application to monitor and care for honeybees around the clock. The beehome controls for climate and humidity, detects and eliminates pests and parasites, identifies when a colony is preparing to swarm, sends alerts when human intervention is needed, and harvests the honey the bees produce. Colony collapse is reduced from 35% to 8% where deployed; ensuring food security as well as pollinator and biodiversity resilience.
About Us
Beewise is the leading global solution provider for pollination services, on a mission to save bees in order to secure the global food supply. Bees pollinate 75% of the crops we eat, yet bees are dying at a rate that jeopardizes our food security: more than 62% of US bee colonies died in 2024. We have created the BeeHome™, an AI-powered robotic beehive, as a climate adaptation solution to protect bees. The device’s AI, precision robotics, and software, enable growers and beekeepers to remotely treat their bees in real-time, resulting in healthier colonies, improved crop yields, and enhanced biodiversity.
Relevant Challenges
Habitat and Species Conservation
Technology deployment to address and scale solutions to conservation challenges such as maintaining and managing protected areas, ensuring wildlife corridors, migration assistance for species threatened by habitat loss, pollination challenges, conservation of seed and genetic diversity and management of biological invasions. Relates to both terrestrial and marine ecosystems
Reduce Land Footprint
Reducing land footprint by improving crop yields, increasing nutritional content, and implementing novel farming systems such as vertical, urban and aquaponic farming as well as insect and algae farms
