BXML Part 1 Q.pThe Power of BIG Data &Analytics: Enough Data To Build A True Genius Hive

摘要

In previous articles in this series, such as "Peering Into the Future: The Path to the Genius Hive," published in the April 2018 issue of Bee Culture, we discussed the importance of data science to build tools like the Genius Hive to benefit beekeepers. In this article, we will discuss one of the most critical components to building that future, large amounts of interchangeable standardized data related to bees, bee health, and hive outcomes.It is only with this type of data, in large enough quantities and with sufficient quality, that it will become possible to build a true genius hive. Recall that this Genius Hive is one that can guide the hive management process by taking the collective wisdom from millions of hives to optimize the best outcome for the bees, beekeepers, and the crops they pollinate.
