Clear, scalable and scientific framework to measure terrestrial biodiversity

Introduction

3Bee applies technology to MEASURE and REGENERATE ecosystem biodiversity, using bees as sentinels. We collect data through 3 assets:

Data Collection Assets

1. HIVE-TECH – IoT sensor integrated in honey beehives to measure the health of a colony.
2. SPECTRUM – Sensor for wildlife monitoring. Thanks to noises sampled and analysed throughout the year, we monitor pollinators, avifauna, and insects in real time.
3. FLORA - Satellite data collection with the support of the European Space Agency for agronomic analysis (flora density, flowering intensity).

Biodiversity Index

Then, we quantify a Biodiversity Index through a scientific methodology and select biodiversity regeneration projects proposed by the 4,000 beekeepers and growers of our network.

Measurement of Biodiversity Enhancement

Biodiversity enhancement is measured through data on:

• Nectar potential
• Honey production
• Insects’ diversity and frequency
• Our pollination abundance index

This enhancement is certified by means of a disciplinary protocol that follows ISO standards (Element-E protocol) and Biodiversity Credits are generated for establishing the benefits associated with regenerative techniques.

Scalability of Methodology

Thanks to our technology and AI algorithms, our methodology is scalable: we can exploit data from an area where our in-the-field sensors are installed to assess biodiversity in a much larger territory.

Customer Base and Value Proposition

Our first customers are large corporations. They have 4 reasons to buy:

1. ESG reporting improvement.
2. Improve transparency of the value chain.
3. Improved brand positioning.
4. Improved E-NPS (Employee Net Promoter Score).

By promoting biodiversity offset projects and generating certified Biodiversity Credits thanks to 3Bee, all these needs will be met.
