The problemA small hornet,
A small hornet,
a major risk to the colony.
The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) is an invasive species that preys on honeybees at the hive. A small number of hornets can seriously weaken a colony or cause it to collapse.
Until now, beekeepers have had few effective, automated options. bkeeprz provides continuous, autonomous protection right at the hive, so the bees stay safe and the beekeeper can leave with peace of mind.

What we do
Detect, recognise, protect.
The unit sits permanently by the colony and works entirely on its own. Three steps, repeated continuously, day and night, with the wellbeing of the bee as the starting point.
Recognise
On-device image recognition tells the hornet apart from the bee. Accuracy prevents mistakes.
Protect
Only the confirmed threat is neutralised, precisely. The bees and their surroundings stay untouched.
