Bees are better at collecting data than any human technology. The startup BeeOdiversity is using that data to regenerate biodiversity and reduce pollution.

00:00In these hives you have 50,000 bees and they will collect four billions of samples per year like natural drones
00:07Collecting pollen, collecting water, collecting nectar. No other tools can do that
00:16And I can show you here
00:18Each color is a different kind of pollen. The bees are collecting the pollen to feed themselves and the pollen
00:24contain the DNA of all the plants in this environment
00:26Then we will analyze the pollen and we will look for more than 500 pesticides, heavy metals
00:31But also with the DNA analysis, we will identify each plant that we have here in our environment
00:53And it's just amazing what they can do. In one hive like this you have just a super organism
01:06It is 50,000 bees and all of these bees need deodors. For me, that's a real model for the human
01:23Hives are really important because that's the only place where you can find a lot of pollinators
01:30And you can find a lot of pollinators in the hives
01:33And you can find a lot of pollinators in the hives
01:35And you can find a lot of pollinators in the hives
01:37And you can find a lot of pollinators in the hives
01:39Hops is really important because that's the only place in Africa where we have the production of hops
01:51Hops is really important because that's the only place in Africa where we have the production of hops
01:55And there are more than 1,000 people which are working here
01:58We have a lot of alien species here, including here the pines, the black waddle, the achaea
02:03And it's a really huge problem here because I use between 40 and 60% more water than in natural area
02:08And we can say that it's a real issue
02:10Unfortunately, the invasive plant species has a huge impact on the biodiversity
02:14And we have to remove it
02:19Bees are my passion
02:20And I did my PhD on honeybee colony losis
02:23And we identify why the bees are dying
02:25And it's very complex
02:26And when we are talking about the pollution
02:28When we are talking about the biodiversity
02:30We realize it's not only the bees
02:32It's also the humans
02:33It's also for us
02:34And if we are not doing something
02:3650% of all the species all around the world will have disappeared by 2050
02:52We have this chance to develop an innovation
02:54And that's the best solution
02:56My hope for the future is to have a real positive impact for the environment
03:01But also for the next generation
03:03And for sure for the bees
