The Goals of the Solution

  • The Goals of the Solution:
    The project's main goal is to create pilot bee polytunnels for ecotoxicological tests of agrochemicals according to OECD 75, with maximum automation and digitization of reading of environmental parameters within tunnels and hives and of behavioural and mortality data on bees. This will subsequently significantly increase the testing capacity and quality of ecotoxicological data provided commercially to customers for the registration of plant protection products. The partial goal of the project is to create commercially suitable technologies for online monitoring in the beekeeping industry.
