Project description
Safeguarding bees and Europe’s agricultural sector
Climate change coupled with a growing population and a decline in pollinator and bee diversity are putting a tremendous strain on the agricultural sector. Using Big Data and deep learning, researchers of the EU-funded hivepoll project will work on the real-time detection of threats to beehives as well as the quantification of the pollination performance of an apiary. Using the gathered data, the project will set out to establish a novel data exchange platform between beekeepers and other stakeholders in the agriculture market. The data will also be used for crop yield prediction as well as the development of improved models for the management of crop failure risks.
