Bumblebee Nest Detector App

Native pollinators are responsible for 1 in 3 bites of food we eat, but they are disappearing because nobody knows about them. Why This App MattersProtecting native pollinators requires knowing where they nest. Traditional methods can't detect underground bumble bee colonies, which can be 6+ inches deep.This patent-pending tool uses your iPhone's built-in sensors to detect bee activity through vibration and audio analysis - making conservation research accessible to everyone, from urban apartments to rural farms.
