“This actually detects the acoustic signature of a honey bee inside of the trees. Inside of almond trees, blueberries, apples, cherries, things like that,” said Field Marketing Manager for BeeHero Daniel Teran.
The bee hero, according to Teran, can detect things like temperature and hive strength.
This information, can allow farmers and bee keepers to strategically place their hives to better improve crop growth.
“Currently, bee keepers are facing 50% to 70% of colony losses and our beehives are actually doing fairly well to that,” said Teran.
