World Bee Project - The Connected Hive & The Future of Farming presentation given by Andy Clark of Oracle at the IoT Thames Valley Meetup on 13th February 2019
Victor Vasarely, who was born in Hungary in 1908 and died in Paris in 1997, developed a style of abstract art called Op Art in the 1960s that used repeated geometric forms and colors to create optical illusions and the appearance of movement or warping. Through his pioneering work in Optical Art, Vasarely created paintings that fooled the mind and gave two-dimensional works a three-dimensional look through techniques like repetition of shapes and colors that could create unusual visual effects.
The Little Mermaid lived in the sea with her father and friends. She had a heart problem and refused to go on land as her friends suggested, where she might find a cure. Her father said whoever convinced her to go to land would receive a great reward. The Little Mermaid rescued a man from the sea and found his name was Doctor John. Her father urged her to ask the doctor for medicine. The sea witch Murtua transformed the mermaid's tail into legs so she could find the doctor. The mermaid received medicine from the doctor but Murtua was jealous and turned herself into a beautiful woman. When her disguise failed, she tried to stop the mermaid from getting the cure. The doctor defeated
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican surrealist painter known for her many self-portraits exploring her identity and troubled marriage. She was disabled by polio as a child and seriously injured in a traffic accident at age 18, after which she began painting during her long recovery. Kahlo painted 151 works, 55 of which were self-portraits, to process her emotional experiences and physical pain. Her paintings combined folk art traditions with surrealist elements to depict personal themes of identity, marriage, and the human experience of suffering.

A honeybee's life, death and world
Humans have been keeping honeybees for thousands of years, yet the insects still manage to surprise us. Lost in the debate over what is causing the death of bees is how intricately complex their lives are, from the tiniest brood to the virgin queen. After all, what other invertebrate communicates by dance?
THE ANATOMY
Things you may not know about Apis mellifera
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE
A charge on the bee's hair attracts pollen.
THE PROBOSCIS
The airtight, strawlike tube sucks up nectar and also works in reverse to feed offspring from a honey stomach.
MANDIBLE
The jaws help bite and pack pollen as well as shape wax for building honeycomb.
EYES
Bees have five of them--two large compound eyes and three ocelli used to detect light intensity. A worker's eyes have nearly 7,000 lenses.
WING HOOKS
Hooks enable the bee to attach one of each set of wings together during flight for maximum efficiency.
LEGS
Brushes scrape pollen from front to back, where it collects in the pollen basket, a sac attached to the rear leg.
WAX PLATES
Bees secrete wax beneath plates on their abdomen and use it to build honeycomb.
WINGS
A bee has two sets of wings. Rapid flapping generates warmth and evaporates water from nectar to make honey.
HONEY STOMACH
A second reservoir where nectar is temporarily stored before being regurgitated.
STING

The document describes the history and evolution of beekeeping technology from ancient times to modern practices. It introduces a new beekeeping system called the BSDOA (Beekeeping System for Developing Oversized Apiaries) which aims to address deficiencies in traditional Langstroth hives. The BSDOA system involves creating very large apiaries of over 1 million bees each, separating brood from honey production, and using automated equipment to extract honey with lower costs and higher quality products. The inventor claims this professionalized approach is needed for beekeeping to progress while traditional hobbyist practices decline.
Where are the bees going? (Maddy Cheney)Jeff Cheney
Over the last few decades, we’ve started to see the bees’ population begin to dwindle. What is happening to the bees? Will it continue? What would happen if they died off? These are all questions scientists are asking, and we need to figure out the answers quickly.

Where are the bees going? (Maddy Cheney)Jeff Cheney
Over the last few decades, we’ve started to see the bees’ population begin to dwindle. What is happening to the bees? Will it continue? What would happen if they died off? These are all questions scientists are asking, and we need to figure out the answers quickly.
The 20th of May is World Bee Day 2022. I’m sure only a few of you were aware of this environmentally beneficial day. Whatever your question is, this article is all about bees. Why is there a world bee day? Why do we celebrate World Bee Day and how do we celebrate World Bee Day?
Bees are disappearing rapidly around the world, threatening global food supplies as they are essential for pollinating many crops. Beekeepers have reported half of their hives being empty with no dead bees found. While cell phones were once thought to be interfering with bee navigation, the cause is still unknown but believed to involve multiple factors. Pesticides are not helping the situation, and millions of crops depend on bee pollination. Some scientists believe the problem may have peaked as a parasite has been identified that contributes to colony collapse disorder. However, more research is still needed to determine the underlying cause and solution to stop the alarming bee deaths.
This presentation discusses the declining bee population and its causes, including pesticides, industrial agriculture, and climate change. Bees are essential for pollinating many important crops, and their loss could significantly impact global food production and nutrition. The population of honeybees has decreased by over 30% in recent years in the US and Europe. If bee populations continue to fall, it could lead to food shortages and increased prices, as well as public health issues from reduced nutrition. Some efforts to help bees include regulations on pesticide use and planting bee-friendly gardens and crops. The presentation promotes attending a upcoming Bee Fest event to raise awareness.
How Artificial Intelligence, IoT and Big Data Can Save The BeesBernard Marr
Artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things sensors, big data analytics, and other technologies are being used to monitor and develop solutions to mitigate the global issue of declining honey bee and pollinator populations. The World Bee Project and Oracle are using technology to learn more about how to save the bees.
Honey presents the greener shopper with some sticky dilemmas. Ethical Consumer's new honey guide, which includes ratings for 22 honey brands, helps you choose honey that keeps our bees happy and healthy.
This document provides references for books, videos, and websites on beekeeping topics. It includes suggested reading materials for children and general beekeeping. Some key resources recommended include books on beekeeping by Vivian Head, David Cramp, and Diana Sammataro and Alphonse Avitabile. Websites from Cornell University, The Fat Bee Man on YouTube, and Linda's Bees blog are also listed. The document aims to be a useful resource for those interested in learning more about beekeeping.
Who needs this small pesky insect that carries a stinger in its tail? We do. You might even say that the very lives of the plants and animals on the planet depend heavily on this pollinator.
This document provides information about saving bees and the Bee Lovely campaign. It discusses the rapid global decline in bee populations due to pesticides, loss of habitat, and modern beekeeping practices. Neonicotinoid pesticides in particular are highly toxic to bees. The document encourages readers to help bees by planting bee-friendly plants, buying organic products, and becoming more bee-friendly in their gardens and lifestyle. It also provides a list of bee-friendly plants that readers can use to help save the bees.
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is affecting honey bee populations, causing bees to abruptly abandon their hives. The Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV) has been implicated in bee declines, though it may not be the sole cause. Pollinators like bees are essential to agriculture as one-third of crop production relies on pollination. Common crops like apples, broccoli, and almonds require bee pollination to produce fruits and seeds. The loss of bee populations poses a serious threat to global food security and economies.
Henrietta Lacks was born in 1920 in Virginia and died of cervical cancer in 1951. Doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital took a sample of her tumor without her consent for research purposes. The cells from her tumor, now known as HeLa cells, were the first human cells to survive and thrive in a lab setting. They could be continuously grown and have become the most important cell line in medical research. However, Henrietta's family was unaware that her cells were still alive in labs until many years later. The book documents how her cells contributed to important medical advances while also exposing the unethical practices and lack of consent at the time.

World Bee Project - The Connected Hive & The Future of Farming
1. Imagine a world without bees. It would just mean we’d have to do without honey, right? Well, it’s
more complicated than that. In fact, only one type of bee makes honey – the aptly named “Honey
Bee
(N.B., The beer is a bit gratuitous – but it is named after the “waggle dance” which a bee uses to
communicate the location of food sources to the other bees – amongst other things. We might still
have beer because barley and hops are mainly pollinated by the wind but we wouldn’t have honey
flavoured beer).
2. Another way to look at this. On its own, a stone is just a stone…
…but place it in a specific place in an archway and it becomes a keystone. We can visualise that
physically but when you look at the definition of a keystone you get phrases like “…locking the whole
together” and “…on which all else depends”.
3. Bees are a keystone species in a similar way and what they and other pollinators do is a keystone
process.
”. There are, in fact, over 20,00 different species of bee – that’s more than there are species of
birds.
Bees are also a type of animal know as a “pollinator” because they pollinate plants and help them to
reproduce.
So, to put the importance of bees in the right context, consider that 77% of all food that we eat
depends on pollination. That’s two out of every three mouthfuls of food that we eat! That equates
to up to $577B world global food produced annually.
4. And over 1.5B jobs worldwide depend on the production of pollinated food.
But it’s not just about food. 87% of all flowering plants also depend on pollination. So, without bees
and pollinators we’d have far fewer plants. And plants keep the soil healthy and, through the
process of photosynthesis, give us oxygen…
…and without oxygen we’re really in trouble.
So we can agree that bees have a vital role for the quality of our environment. But there’s a
problem because bees are in decline. 25% of honey bees alone have disappeared in Europe over the
past 20 to 25 years. In some areas the decline is worse – 40% reduction in the US since 2008 and a
massive 45% in the UK just in the last 8 years.
In many ways we know the reasons why (see next slide). But we don’t know all the reasons.
In the past habitats were natural and biodiversity* was common. Even through the industrial
revolution, new approaches such as crop rotation helped to drive growth without overly damaging
habitats. Over time habitats have declined and become less biodiverse as a consequence of human
activity: intensive agriculture (including monoculture farming), widespread use of pesticides and
pollution caused by waste.
5. So, Oracle are working with the World Bee Project to understand more the reasons for the decline
and to look at new and innovative ways to help them to achieve their goals.
This slide summarises the key areas where we are working with the WBP
Top left – to establish a global hive network of sentient hives. There are bee hives fitted with
sensors to monitor things like temperature, humidity, weight and, significantly, acoustic data as you
can tell a lot about the behaviour and health of a bee colony through he sound they make. This area
roughly splits into two:
- Volume: to enable many beekeepers and farmers globally to attach their hives to the network and
access existing insights into their bee colonies.
- Scientific: Working with the Uni of Reading to carry out a focused study on 30 hives with an expert
keeper investigating the correlation between bee health and the data being collected.
Bottom Left: Helping the WBP to establish an eco-label and “BeeMark” to guarantee that honey and
other pollinated produce come from ecologically sustainable sources. There is a Blockchain element
to this in terms of capturing, storing and sharing whatever evidence is collected through the supply
chain between different parties who don’t necessarily trust each other. There is also the use of
image recognition to capture and monitor, for example, the amount of land a farmer is setting aside
for bio-diverse plants.
Bottom right: the use of mobile technology and chatbots to share and capture data to and from
beekeepers and farmers.
Top right: Using new technology to explore the art of the possible through things like video
recognition and applying data science algorithms to the data collected.
6. Let’s have a look at a couple of interesting areas we are exploring.
One interesting area of bee behaviour is how they communicate using something called a “waggle
dance”. This is where bees in the hive move in a figure of eight (the video above is showing half a
full waggle dance). This dance is used, amongst other things, to direct the other bees to a source of
food where they can go to collect pollen and nectar.
If we could monitor this more regularly we could used it to check where the bees are going for food
and ensure the source is bio-diverse and sustainable.
7. Another interesting area is in the analysis of acoustic data to predict bee swarms.
Swarms are a perfectly natural and normal thing the bee colonies do – typically when they have run
out of room in their hive. Around two-thirds of the bees leave with the existing queen to find
another place to start a new colony leaving the remaining bees with a new queen to grow the
existing one. Sometimes, they will swarm for the wrong reasons – e.g. when they are under threat
or unhealthy and, particularly if this is during the winter, this could be very dangerous. Even if it is a
natural swarm, the beekeeper will probably want to capture the swarm and start a colony in a new
hive thus increasing the amount of honey they can produce and the amount of crops they can
pollinate.
8. You can get up to 21 days notice of a possible swarm through analyzing the acoustic data coming off
the hive. The above slide shows on the left (compared to a stable hive in the right) how there is an
increase in the volume of low frequency noise over the 21 days – a noise known as a “Warble”. Here
we are using Oracle Analytics Cloud to analyse historic data.
We have also taken that data and fed it real-time into Oracle Stream Analytics to pick up the possible
swarm and send alerts to a mobile phone that a swarm is about to happen.
9. Looking at the BeeMark eco-label, as previously mentioned there is a blockchain element to this but
there is also a data science aspect where we can use image recognition to analyse and record, for
example, the percentage of land a farmer sets aside for biodiverse crops. In presentation mode the
above slide shows a mobile phone demonstrating the analysis of a photo to demo this.
In practice a chatbot wouldn’t be used in this context but where it comes into its own is with an
audio digital assistant attached to a beekeeping suit. (See next slide).
When a beekeeper is at a hive he is usually wearing a suit, gloves and netted hat. The use of any
technology through something like a mobile phone is difficult. However, beekeepers are excited
about the potential use of an audio chatbot using a microphone attached to the suit and connected
to their phone to both ask questions and to capture information when inspecting their hives.
10. These are just a few examples of some of the things Oracle are doing with the World Bee Project.
On their own, they will not be enough to reverse the decline in pollinators. The World Bee Project
believes that progress can only be made through collaboration between business, governments,
farmers & growers and the general public. Through our work in this project, Oracle aims to make
our contribution.
