Honey bees are sensitive bioindicators of ecosystem health. Their behavior, population patterns, and seasonal timing reflect environmental conditions, including air quality, pesticide exposure, climate shifts, and habitat availability. Yet no systematic infrastructure exists to collect and analyze this data at scale. Meanwhile, 1.5-2 million wild honey bee swarms form annually across Europe, the US, and Australia. Fewer than 25% survive without intervention. Each lost swarm represents not just dead bees, but lost data about the environment they came from. Beekeeping remains fragmented, and the potential for bees to serve as distributed environmental sensors remains largely untapped.
