Pollinium

Mission

Our mission is to improve the collaboration between bees and humans for a more sustainable future.

The challenge

Pollination is responsible for one-third of the world's food supply, yet the data guiding it remains surprisingly primitive. Today, farmers and beekeepers rely almost entirely on manual observation and guesswork to understand how, where, and when pollination occurs across their land — a method that is slow, subjective, and fundamentally unscalable. This blind spot carries real consequences. Without reliable pollination data, farmers cannot optimize hive placement, identify underperforming zones, or make informed decisions that protect their yields. In fruit farming alone, poor pollination management translates directly into significant and largely preventable economic losses. At scale, the industry still operates without a practical, standardized solution for monitoring pollination in the field — leaving one of agriculture's most critical processes effectively unmeasured where it matters most.

The solution

Our solution is a compact, camera-based device that mounts at the hive entrance and uses computer vision and AI to analyze bees as they return from foraging. Simultaneously, the device screens for visible signs of disease, including varroa mite infestations, enabling early detection before colony health deteriorates. All data is delivered in real time through a web dashboard, giving farmers and beekeepers actionable insight without the need for manual inspection. The result is a scalable, non-invasive monitoring solution that eliminates guesswork, makes managing hives easier, and delivers economic value to farmers by making precision pollination data accessible at a fraction of the complexity of current alternatives.
