Bee Focused On Pollination

This is Tim Hammerich of the Ag Information Network with your Farm of the Future Report.

BeeHero recently announced the expanded application of its Pollination Insight Platform to the apple market, providing growers with actionable, data-driven insights. But what does this mean for growers? Co-founder Itai Kanot describes the benefits technology can bring to making sure growers get their money’s worth out of pollination services.

Kanot… “ We have sensors inside the hives. We're able to make sure that the hives that are going into the orchard are the hives that you need. And it's not a situation where we're guessing. It's not a situation where you bring an inspector mid bloom and only then you find that you're having issues. You have a window into the hive and the grower gets a platform where they can see the performance of the hives. The real time activity levels, accumulative flight hours for every day, compare it also, look at it on a graph with weather. And then if we're going back to PIP again, this gives you a lot more information about overall best practices for your orchard.”

Kanot said this gives growers never-before-accessible data on the pollination needs of their orchard.
