# Beehive-Monitoring Sensors ApisProtect Uses Machine Learning to Help Beehives Thrive By Justin Lam | Published 2018-11-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apisprotect References: [venturebeat](https://venturebeat.com/2018/11/20/apisprotect-raises-1-8-million-for-bee-monitoring-sensors/) & [apisprotect](http://www.apisprotect.com/) Founded in an attempt to better end [colony collapse disorder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/host), ApisProtect utilizes sensors and networking to better monitor and protect beehives. The core technology used by the start-up empowers beekeepers with the ability to [monitor hives remotely](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pats-agri-tech) 24/7. This eliminates the need for periodic manual checks and allows the bees to live a more unobstructed life. This is accomplished through a combination of [machine learning and satellite-enabled sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biotechnology-platform) retrofitted into existing beehives. ApisProtect is already being used to monitor 6 million honey bees in 144 hives across North America and Europe. This is incredible for the beekeeping industry as Apis Protect offers a fundamentally different way for beekeepers to monitor their hives and better address issues that may be affecting them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Remote Monitoring:** The use of sensors and networking technology allows for remote monitoring of beehives, providing an opportunity for other industries to implement similar strategies. - **Machine Learning:** The incorporation of machine learning into beehive monitoring enables more accurate data analysis and predictive capabilities, paving the way for other industries to leverage this technology. - **Satellite-enabled Sensors:** The use of satellite-enabled sensors in beehive monitoring provides an opportunity for industries to explore the application of this technology in remote monitoring systems. ### Who This Affects Most - **Agriculture:** Remote monitoring and machine learning technology can be applied to optimize farming practices and improve crop production. - **Environmental Conservation:** The use of remote monitoring and machine learning in the beekeeping industry can be extended to monitor and protect other endangered species and ecosystems. - **Logistics and Supply Chain:** Satellite-enabled sensors can be utilized in logistics and supply chain management to enhance tracking capabilities and improve efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Pest Control Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flightsensor.md) - [AI-Powered Beehive Farming Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2035-moving-beehive-mobility.md) - [AI Pest Identification Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pest-identification-system.md) - [Automated Wellness Monitoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkinbee1.md) - [Smart Nature Observatories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-nature-observatory.md) - [Non-Intrusive Animal-Tracking Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agricultural-livestock.md) - [Crop-Scouting Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cropscouting-robot.md) - [Monitoring-Based Pest Control Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pats-agri-tech.md) - [Agricultural Living Sensor Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biotechnology-platform.md)
