Develop an outlook for when a pollination crop may start and finish flowering, alongside observations from the field.

before the truck leaves.
Flowering changes. Release dates shift. Field access can change after rain. Bee GPS is being shaped with commercial beekeepers and growers to bring those updates into one clear colony movement plan.

The problem we are tackling first
A retrieval trip can unravel before the crew reaches the hives.
In Alberta pollination work, growers may not set a firm release date until a crop is nearly finished flowering. Weather changes that timing. Rain or an outdated field update can leave a crew unable to reach colonies after hours on the road.
That is the first problem Bee GPS wants to work through with beekeepers, growers and field teams: a better view of bloom timing, a clear release update and a field access check before dispatch.

Connect the bloom
to the truck schedule.
Our first pilot workflow follows the real sequence of pollination work. It gives each participant a place to contribute the information only they can see.
02 / RELEASE
Share the release decision.
Give growers and beekeepers a written place to update the expected colony release date and explain a change.
Pilot direction03 / DISPATCH
Check before setting out.
Bring access conditions and the latest confirmation into the crew's pickup plan before a long drive begins.
Pilot directionA shared operating picture
Make the next update useful to everyone.
A grower sees the crop. A beekeeper plans the colonies and the truck. A field crew needs to know what changed before it travels. Bee GPS is being designed to connect these updates in writing.
The pilot will test which bloom signals, release notices and access confirmations are useful enough to change an actual dispatch decision.
