What Is Beewise and the BeeHome?
Beewise is on a mission to save bees to feed the world. This climate tech company tackles one of the biggest challenges facing global food security: the alarming collapse of bee colonies. Responsible for pollinating 75% of the crops we eat, bees are essential to our food supply. Enter the BeeHome™—an AI and robotic-powered hive designed as a climate adaptation solution. It supports bees by protecting them from extreme weather, fires, flooding, and even providing nutrition when natural forage is scarce. Powered by solar energy, the BeeHome™ features computer vision and a robotic arm, enabling beekeepers to remotely inspect and treat their bees in real time. It’s a smart, tech-driven way to keep hives healthy and thriving.
The Main Benefit: Healthier Hives and Superior Pollination
BeeHome™ delivers impressive results that make a real difference for both beekeepers and growers. Here’s a quick snapshot:
- 70% lower bee colony loss thanks to optimized care
- 75% of the produce we eat depends on bee pollination
- Over 250,000 hives delivered to growers annually
- 40% of bee colonies collapse each year without intervention
- AI and robotics enable real-time hive monitoring and adjustments
Challenges Beekeepers Face and How BeeHome™ Helps
Beekeepers often struggle with distance, timing, and expertise. Hives can be hundreds of miles apart, making timely visits tough. Skilled help is scarce, and bees sometimes get care too late. BeeHome™ changes the game by simplifying workflows with AI and robotics, allowing beekeepers to remotely monitor and intervene. This means healthier bees, less colony loss, and better returns. Plus, the device’s thermal regulation keeps bees comfortable, increasing their flight hours and pollination activity.
How BeeHome™ Supports Growers
Growers benefit from guaranteed quality, competitive pricing, and peace of mind. BeeHome™ ensures quality bees in the right quantity, delivered on time. The system’s smart logistics optimize hive placement, tracked via an app with white glove delivery service. This means growers get stronger pollination outcomes, healthier colonies, and ultimately, better crop yields. The technology also reduces pesticide exposure by allowing remote hive entrance closures during spraying, protecting the bees.
Technology and Innovation Behind BeeHome™
The BeeHome™ is packed with cutting-edge features. Its AI constantly monitors hive health and alerts beekeepers to any issues throughout the pollination season. Robotics enable real-time adjustments, while thermal regulation protects bees from extreme weather. The hive’s adjustable volume and insulation encourage bees to spend more time pollinating rather than heating their homes. This blend of AI, robotics, and solar power creates a resilient, efficient system that adapts to the challenges bees face in a changing climate.
Project Impact and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 2: Zero Hunger – Supporting global food security through improved pollination
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – Promoting sustainable agriculture practices
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Providing climate adaptation solutions for bee populations
- SDG 15: Life on Land – Protecting pollinators and biodiversity
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Leveraging AI and robotics for environmental solutions
Why Bee Health Matters for Everyone
Bee health isn’t just a niche concern—it’s vital for the entire food chain. As colony losses rise, the risk to crop yields and food availability grows. BeeHome™ offers a transparent, accountable solution that helps beekeepers and growers alike. With remote monitoring, optimized hive placement, and proactive interventions, it’s a game-changer in pollination technology. The result? Stronger bees, better crops, and a more secure food future. It’s a reminder that saving bees means saving the world’s food supply—one hive at a time.
