#BeeScanning

The varroa heatmap is a powerful way to understand the status on a global scale but also to visualize what’s going on right now in the beekeeper’s own area”, says Björn Lagerman, founder and CEO of Swedish bee-health company BeeScanning.

(18.03.2019)Prince Carl Philip attended Food Tech 2019 at Örebro Concert Hall.

Food Tech is a food industry event, where companies can share ideas and discuss the future and sustainability of food.

During the event, several lectures were held, and newly started companies participated in a pitch competition. The winner was "Beescanning", a company that has created an app that can detect if a beehive is infested with harmful Varroa mites.

Have you heard of the app "beescanning" that is being developed? It's to help identify mites.

No but that’s pretty cool.

BeeScanning just launched on Kickstarter and the team is looking to raise just $5,000 over the next month with the long-term goal of raising $350,000. The initial cash will finance the creation of the database and help to raise awareness. Lagerman is confident that the project will receive additional support from third parties like the European Innovation Program in time for completion in December 2017.

BeeScan provides beekeepers with a quick test to check for Varroa, but it also offers the research community a new tool for studying the mites. Lagerman is emphatic that the current standard chemical treatment of bees isn’t sustainable in the long run and that resources need to be dedicated to identifying resistant bees.

By now just about everyone has seen the video of Makoto Koike’s deep learning-powered cucumber sorter. Hobbyists around the world are hacking solutions to their problems using machine learning. The latest, Swedish beekeeper and inventor Björn Lagerman, is building BeeScanning with the help of a team of engineers and researchers. BeeScanning is an app that applies some clever computer vision to ordinary smartphone photos to alert beekeepers to the potentially dangerous presence of Varroa mites in their bee colonies.
