Beewise

Machine Intelligence

Company overview

Beewise’s core product is BeeHome, an autonomous, AI-enabled robotic hive designed to reduce colony loss and deliver higher-quality pollination. The latest units house up to ten colonies in a solar-powered structure equipped with computer vision that tracks bees, brood frames, and hive conditions 24/7—down to individual cells. Robotics handle automated feeding, frame equalization, and chemical-free heat treatments against Varroa mites, while onboard sensors measure temperature, humidity, pesticide exposure, and other environmental factors. BeeHome integrates seamlessly with existing beekeeping workflows (standard wooden frames, forklift handling) and provides remote operation and real-time hive analytics through the Beewise app. The system is built to strengthen colonies, increase flight hours, and improve pollination efficiency across large acreages.

Beewise does not sell BeeHome hardware. Instead, the company delivers pollination and hive-management as a service, supplying growers with guaranteed, high-quality hives at market-rate pricing while overseeing all logistics, deployment, remote monitoring, and in-field support. Beekeepers are paid at the start of the pollination season and gain automated visibility into their colonies, with Beewise responsible for day-to-day BeeHome operation and maintenance. The same service structure underpins the company’s corporate sustainability offering (“Bees for Buildings”), where customers subscribe to on-site BeeHome installations supported by ESG and biodiversity dashboards. The model functions as full HaaS: BeeHome is the hardware backbone of a recurring, service-driven commercial relationship—not a capital equipment sale.

“Soon after we launched our AI-powered Robot (BeeHome), we realized that we would be best positioned to help save bees at scale by providing ‘pollination-as-a-service’ to growers and farmers, rather than selling our technology to beekeepers,” says Saar Safra, CEO. “Today, we work with more than 250 growers, including some of the world's largest agribusinesses, and we save more than 200M bees a year.”
