This $300,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support the development and testing of the "eBeevet" functional sensor framework designed for bee hives. The framework will utilize machine learning methods to analyze data and propose solutions to address the drastic declines in honeybee populations that have occurred over the past two decades. The project aims to create scalable data management...
This federal Project Grant award of $700,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Program (CFDA 10.310) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside aims to develop and test an electronic sensor framework called "eBeeVet" for monitoring honeybee hives. The project seeks to address the drastic declines in honeybee populations that have occurred over the past two decades, as honeybees provide crucial ecosystem...
This $949,400 project grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (CFDA 10.310) supports the creation of decision support tools to improve bee health and ecosystem services through 2025. The Pennsylvania State University will synthesize complex data from multiple national databases and expert opinions into spatial-temporal data layers, code, and statistical analysis pipelines. These...
This $742,173 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310, Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) to Colorado State University will support a 4-year research initiative to evaluate interactions between wild bee populations and managed honeybees in peri-urban landscapes of the American West. The research aims to (1) characterize the extent and strength of resource overlap and competition between wild bees and honeybees, (2) determine if honeybees...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $749,086, was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) to Villanova University. The project aims to address two of the USDA's Pollinator Health priorities - understanding factors that influence pollinator abundance and diversity, and developing innovative tools and management practices to support healthy pollinators. Specifically, the project will use unmanned aerial vehicles...
This $305,007 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support the development of a research hub for automated bee identification, data sharing, and citizen science using computer vision technology. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Creation of a large, expertly-labeled image dataset of at least 1,000 North American bee species to train an AI-based bee classification model...
This Project Grant award of $750,000.00 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the 1890 Institution Capacity Building Grants Program (CFDA 10.216) supports research at Central State University, an 1890 land-grant institution, to study the impacts of transportation on the health and behavior of honeybees, a critical managed pollinator for U.S. agriculture. The key objectives of the 3-year project are to: 1) Detect viral prevalence and distribution in transported honeybee...
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $300,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (CFDA 10.310) to Washington State University from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The project aims to develop Spanish language training videos and materials on bee biology, pests/diseases, and management for commercial beekeeping crews. These crews provide critical pollination services for US agriculture but often lack...
