Israeli Start-Up Beewise Is Saving Honey Bees from Extinction
(Jerusalem Post) Diana Bletter - As much as 35% of the world's honey bees are dying each year, and if they become extinct, the global food chain will collapse. Israeli start-up Beewise has developed the world's first robotic beehive that will help avert the honey bee's fate, using artificial intelligence, robotics and software. Standard beehives are white wooden boxes invented in the 1850s. The new solar-powered robotic beehive constantly monitors the bees and can respond immediately to adjust the hive's temperature and humidity, as well as treating the bees against infection, diseases and pests.
