Congratulations to Bee Alert Technology on their successful Kickstarter campaign!
by Ann Peterson, MTIP Program Manager
Bee Alert Technology’s Bee Health Guru citizen science project Kickstarter campaign received over 653 backers in 30 days and exceeded their goal! Bee Alert Technology of Missoula received SBIR funding from the Department of Defense and USDA which supported the development of an innovative mobile app to monitor the health of bees. Since its original SBIR funding in 2004, Bee Alert has evolved their technology to incorporate specially developed artificial intelligence programming into a smartphone app that will listen to your bees and reference a proprietary database of sounds that will tell you in seconds if there is anything wrong with your bees. Check out the video on their Kickstarter page and follow their forum for announcements about when the app is ready for public release.
