Protecting UK Honeybees with AI and Polynes
Polynes, a social enterprise founded by childhood friends Elms and Finney, began as a venture to alleviate hay fever symptoms but evolved into protecting UK honeybees. Utilizing artificial intelligence, the founders address threats like habitat loss, climate change, and invasive hornets by developing solutions such as biodiversity tracking, beehive cameras, and AI camera bait stations for Asian hornets. With declining bee populations and the escalation of danger from the invasive hornets, Polynes's innovative approach aims to safeguard Britain's bees and ecosystem.
