BeeSage

BeeSage provides a modular early warning system designed to protect honey bee colonies from various threats, including pests and diseases. The company's system utilizes wireless, lightweight hardware that can be installed in beehives to collect real-time data on the colony's condition. This data is then processed and analyzed on a proprietary platform, offering beekeepers actionable insights and alerts to help prevent colony losses and optimize apiary management.

The technology aims to advance apiculture by enabling a data-driven approach to beekeeping, a practice referred to as Apiculture 4.0. By monitoring hive health proactively, the system helps beekeepers maximize honey yields and pollination services, which in turn contributes to safeguarding ecosystems and advancing food security. The platform is designed to scale from individual hive alerts to comprehensive AI-enabled analytics for entire apiaries. The business model likely involves the sale of the hardware devices combined with a subscription-based service for access to the data analytics platform. Clients range from hobbyist beekeepers to commercial apiaries.

Founded in 2020 by Davis M. John, Janis Kronbergs, and Martins Zeps, BeeSage is headquartered in Riga, Latvia. Davis M. John, the CEO, has a background in product management and UX/UI design. Janis Kronbergs, the CTO, specializes in electronics and hardware. BeeSage was one of the winning teams at the EIT Food's 2020 Innovation Prizes event.
