The project proposes a revolutionary, futuristic concept to mitigate the global threat to honeybee colonies due to disturbances in their natural environment, mostly caused by human activities, via a multidisciplinary research approach. By studying swarm intelligence, i.e. by conducting various experiments and simulations, this project will generate integrated technologies that enable the building of the first smart beehive system. It will allow the interaction of technology, honeybees, and humans to promote a stable, sustainable environment and a greener future.
