Bee Angels is a young and ambitious French SME which has developed and commercialized a Bee Label®, the 1st generation of new connected beehive device and mobile application.
Colony Collapse Disoder (“CDD”) is an international growing issue, identified for 30 years. Our environment and future is directly affected by the death of bees, major actors of the pollination process. Without bees, not only honey disappears, but no less than 80% of what we consume - since vegetal growth is dependent on pollination. We are losing 30-50% of hives every year. Imagine the impact on plants value chain, upon the Economy and on lives.
These constant losses are a European and worldwide big problem and have adverse effects on ecosystem functioning, as bees play a central role in a variety of processes, including 80% of global pollination. Around 70% of the world’s most produced crop species rely on some extent on insect pollination, contributing to an estimated €153 billion to the global economy and accounting for approximately 9% of agricultural production. Between 30% to 50% of bees dying-off each year3. For the first time in the US, a species of bumblebee is endangered.
Bee Label offers an innovative solution: the smart hive. Equipped with numerous sensors and theft protection, the Bee Label connected beehive sends multiple environmental measurements and precise honey production analytics. These data are immediately available on your computer or mobile application. This way, the beehive is “smart” and you can follow your bees’ health and activity from anywhere and in real time.
The device is a separate part placed simply below beehive. It contains precise sensors and remote monitoring software to follow bees’ and hive conditions, and alert beekeepers in the real time of any trouble that arises.
The users of 60 already sold devices declared that it is possible to reduce the mortality of bees by up to 40% using Bee Label connected device1.
About sixty Bee Labels are already sold in France via specialized distributors, and via sponsorships of large companies, such as CREDIT AGRICOLE, ORANGE, Groupama insurance, CAF Paris (Family allowance of Paris), under their Corporate Social Responsibility program.
