iPollinate at EurBee 9 in Belgrade, Serbia
Two years after it was originally planned, 9th European Congress of Apidology (EurBee 9) finally took place in September of 2022, in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, under the motto: “Save the bees for our future”. European Association for Bee Research (EurBee) is an...
Precision pollination for onion seed production in Israel
Remotely monitoring honey bee colonies during pollination cycles can transform the way we model, understand, and manage the pollination input. Sensors and models being developed by iPollinate consortium were used to trial and demonstrate the capabilities and...
iPollinate technology for BeeNet in Italy
Since 2014 the "Apidology" sector of CREA-AA (Council for Agricultural Research and Analysis of Agricultural Economics) based in Bologna, Italy has been coordinating a nationwide effort for environmental monitoring using bees and biodiversity. BeeNet monitors both...

Expansion of Canetis SRL apiary for signal testing
Number of hives maintained by Canetis SRL for in-house use averages 20-25. These beehives and the colonies they house have allowed us to test the developing sensors, including the bee counter. The ease of fitting, the impedance to passage of bees, the stability of the...
Harnessing The Wisdom of the Hive
Can developments in sensor technology improve our understanding of honey bee foraging behaviour and contribute to the development of new models for almond pollination economics. The amount of bee foraging activity during almond bloom is of considerable interest to...
Monitoring pollination by leaf-cutter bees
Leaf-cutter bees are the world’s most intensively managed solitary bees, they have transformed the commercial pollination of alfalfa in US and Canada. These commercially raised pollinators are being deployed for pollination of other major crops such as cranberry and...
Bee counter sensor – accuracy evaluation
Bee counter sensor - accuracy evaluationAn optical bee counter, developed by Canetis and Irideon as a tool for beekeepers to assess colony activity and identify invasive pests entering the hive, is at the heart of this project which will build on it’s design so that...
Pollination of cashew in Ghana
Pollination of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) in Ghana (Kintampo, Bono East region)Optimising crop production yields relies on close monitoring of soil nutrition and pests and diseases so that adequate farming practices can be employed, however biotic pollination,...
Every Bee Counts!
Bee foraging activity is of considerable interest to almond growers. It provides a good indication of the colonies’ pollination efficacy placed in the orchards as it will ultimately impact the crop yield. Currently, bee foraging activity is inferred using bee flight...
iPollinate Project kicks-off
iPollinate aims at Intelligent Pollination for Sustainable Increases in Crop Yields and Global Food Security. Honeybee colonies provide most insect pollination services to agriculture. A precision pollination service would allow farmers to improve pollination...
