Description of the portfolio company
BeeHero offers precision pollination as a service by connecting beekeepers to growers. Utilising in-hive sensors and advanced data analytics, hive health and pollination activity are monitored in real time enabling beekeepers to raise exceptional bees and giving farmers insights into pollination efficiency. Ultimately this results in increased crop yields, stronger hives and healthier bees.
Investment rationale
The need for greater food production continues to increase as the global population grows, and so does the need for pollination. Bees are critical to the pollination of many crops. At the same time, the massive decline in bee populations is continuing and presents unprecedented pollination challenges to growers. BeeHero’s solution combines commercial beekeeping experience with cutting-edge technology which offers a better outcome for farmers, beekeepers and nature.
