Project description
Turning to bee power to preserve biodiversity
With an alarming decline in global biodiversity and the rise of poorly monitored pollutants, the need for innovative solutions is more pressing than ever. The humble bee has emerged as an unexpected hero. In this context, the EIC-funded BeeOimpact project will develop a groundbreaking software-as-a-service platform that harnesses the potential of the bee ecosystem to extract valuable biodiversity data and metrics. Bees, as nature’s tireless workers, forage billions of flowers across vast areas daily, bringing back pollen samples to their nests. BeeOimpact’s mobile app collects these pollen samples. By analysing data through AI, expert systems, data mining, machine learning and deep learning technologies, it can assess biodiversity and pollution levels with just one click.
Objective
BeeOimpact platform (incl. BeeOmonitoring and BeeOgarden mobile app) is a unique SaaS solution using the bee ecosystem to extract valuable biodiversity data and metrics. Bees forage 4 bn flowers on a circular surface of 80 to 700ha /solitary bee nest/colony. They gather pollen from these flowers and bring them back in the bee nest or beehive. We collect pollen samples daily via a device placed outside the hive or in the bee nest. As pollen samples capture air and part of soil pollutants and contain plants DNA, we will analyze this data (we already have 10yrs of aggregated data) to feed the AI platform. BeeOimpact will provide an assessment of a site, with just 1 click, without having to analyse the samples coming from each site, via AI, expert systems, data mining, machine Learning and deep Learning techs, the origin and assess the level of poorly monitored pollutants and plant diversity level/quality. Then targeted solutions to enhance biodiversity and lower pollution are provided
