“Increasing the bee population is another of our goals. To that end, through a collaboration with California-based technology company Ubees, we are using sensors to monitor the levels of parasites and pathogens in bees, their exposure to pesticides, and assess their nutrition. All the information we collect in the hives where we have installed the sensors is very useful for us to take care of the populations and make them grow.”

"Ubees, a young French company, has developed sensors and artificial intelligence which, allowing the health of hives to be monitored remotely, also provide information on the quality of the environment."

"We teamed up with the startup Ubees, whose state-of-the art technology enables remote, real-time monitoring of the health of beehives, the pollination status of the field and the local weather information.

By placing beehives nearby during the coffee blooming weeks and installing them to be integrated into farming practices in Colombia, we began looking at what could happen."
