According to BeeHero, with offices in Palo Alto and research in Israel, 70% of crops worldwide rely on bees, whose increasing mortality rate, coupled with colony collapse disorder, makes feeding the world’s growing population a challenge. BeeHero has been in the news for partnering with Monsons Honey & Pollination, Australia’s leader in beekeeping and pollination industry to bring BeeHero’s precision pollination technology to the Australian beekeepers and growers. BeeHero’s technology uses IoT sensors connected to handheld devices to monitor the temperature, sound and humidity inside beehives and alert beekeepers and growers to any problems inside the hive. BeeHero’s sensors turn a traditional bee hive into an intelligent smart hive.

In late November, 2023, Omer Davidi, CEO of BeeHero, spoke at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation about the plight of bees and smart hives; he also invited California’s Governor Gavin Newsom to see precision pollination in action during the next almond-pollination season in February, 2024.
