25.01.2022 Have you heard of Varroa mites? The Varroa mite is a tiny mite that attaches itself to honey bees and honey bee brood to the detriment of the honey bee and the honey bee colony. Australia is the only populated country in the world that hasnt been impacted by the Varroa Destructor (a type of Varroa mite), however, experts predict that its only a matter of time before it establishes itself in Australia. Its our vision that the Purple Hive Project will help to protect Austr...alia from Varroa Destructor to try to ensure that the honey industry, as well as honey bee pollination dependent industries, are viable for generations to come. By enjoying B honey, you'll be supporting the Purple Hive Project, and in turn, our bees. Head to your local Coles Supermarkets to find B honey. #Bhoney #PurpleHiveProject

11.01.2022 "We need to do everything we can to protect bees and the world which they have so much influence on." - Ian Cane, Beekeeper The humble honey bee plays a major role in the pollination of food crops in Australia its estimated that one in every three mouthfuls of food that Australians consume relies on pollination support by honey bees. Without prioritising the health of our honey bees, honey bees and the ecosystems that rely on them for their wellbeing, as well as Australian food security, are under threat.

The Purple Hive Projects Purple Hive is a solar-powered artificial intelligence-based device, designed to detect the Varroa Destructor (Varroa mite), a parasite of adult honey bees and honey bee brood. The Purple Hive utilises 360-degree camera technology (which operates 24 hours per day) and an artificial intelligence algorithm to distinguish between a healthy bee from a bee carrying the Varroa mite. ... If a Varroa mite is detected by the Purple Hive, an alert is sent immediately. The Purple Hive will share an image of the impacted bee for further analysis.
