How machine learning is being used to help save the world’s bees

Bee populations around the world are declining, and experts don’t know why. Led by by founder Katharina Schmidt, apic.ai is working to find answers to one of nature’s more pressing questions.

[@abdullahabd7677]

In this video they showed only a monitoring system in the bee hive. They did not show any other monitoring system or sources of data that measures external events such as tree plantation schedule or harvest schedule. Can a singular set of data of hive activity be indicative of external events? So, I am assuming they are running this test against geographic location based data that google has collected like google maps data.

The ladys house beside me has a honey bee nest under her house and sonehow by the end of the day there will be at least 20 bees inside her house and they always end up dying by the window. I think that might be a reason why not as many return.

[@almostimmortal8964]

[@sirbughunter]

@Bravery Macdonald's NOOOOO, YOU LIEEEEE! 😠

[@AGenericFool]

You´d have to look into the causes of bee deaths for this system to operate properly.

[@NuclearGalactus]

You use the data and information about the surrounding area combined with machine learning to find the cause. If they could just figure out the cause they wouldn't need ML.

[@vindictiveDOOM]

Look at big farm

[@SahilP2648]

@@NuclearGalactus no. In this scenario they are just looking at the bees leaving and entering the honeycomb. For that they are using machine learning on computer vision, not for finding out how they are dying. That just doesn't make sense.

[@NuclearGalactus]

@@SahilP2648 They are doing both. ML is great for identifying features that are associated with trends. Find the features in the location dataset weighted with bee death, especially over time and you find the cause.

[@SahilP2648]

@@NuclearGalactus I mean if you are talking very broadly, anything from forest cover, to types of fruits, flowers, temperature, air quality, human lifestyle, population density etc. can affect the lifecycles of these bees. But then you would literally have to use this all across the world, in every country, in every city and with the correct model only can you find exactly what is causing the bees to go extinct. Also that is a huge maybe. So no, what you are saying also doesn't make sense sorry.

[@judahmarsden3780]

What this video and concept may have missed: 1. Wild, native bee species populations are far more endangered than domesticated (artificial hive) honeybees and are far more important to maintaining ecosystem strength than the latter. 2. We do know some important dangers posed to bee populations. Two examples are: the Nosema apis fungal pathogen decimating certain American native bee populations and the lack of native pollinating crops due to anthropogenic constructions which leave native bees without a pollination source.

[@KalanYore]

It is the herbicides and pesticides that is behind most of the cause while anything else in the natural world is a mystery but could be very well connection to the polar shifting of the magnetic poles and the electromagnetic field that animals that are reliant on for their biologic function to navigate including migration?!? This Polar Shift also has a direct negative effect upon our technology for navigation that needs to be calibrated for aviation, maritime and aerospace?

[@mrigendraghosh1300]

Awesome

Should note, informing people when not to use herbicides, WiFi etc for the bees safety.

I don't see where machine learning is being used. Its just tracking how many bees leave and comeback to hive, just a simple algorithm.

[@SahilP2648]

Machine learning is done on each frame of the video, it's basically enhanced computer vision. But without it, it's impossible to count the bees in the way they are describing.

[@Imkerei2024]

This is so simple to deal you just need to plant green fields which nobody use with bee friendly flowers and such places have each town and every garden i believe that bees dont have enough food diversity in nature bees are only happy where cows are and sheeps they work perfect together.

They stopped dying years ago, fools. (They are now immortal. God save us all!)

[@roslinmenadue5764]

A food documentary purported that the import of vast numbers of bees from all over the world to pollinate the almond trees in California was the cause: anything infectious (mites etc) become instantly globalised when the bees are returned at the end of the pollination season. This study as it stands will entirely miss such factors... but it's great to see an effort is beginning 👍

[@flopunkt3665]

That's only in North America. In Europe it is not common to move beehives around.
