FLOTECH-HONEY National Workshop
A Landmark Event for Beekeeping Technology
ntala Lab is proud to announce the successful conclusion of the FLOTECH-HONEY National Workshop, held as a cornerstone event of our flagship Beeoptech project. This initiative is dedicated to advancing the apiculture industry through data-driven optimization and intelligent technologies, and this workshop served as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange among leading researchers, academics, and industry experts.
Throughout the event, critical topics shaping the future of beekeeping were addressed. Key discussion themes included:
- Smart Technologies and AI: Innovative approaches such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Twins, and QR code-based digital traceability for advanced hive and colony management.
- Environmental Challenges & Remote Sensing: Analysis of the regional impacts of climate change and forest fires on honey production using satellite data like MODIS and NDVI.
- Sustainability and Biological Control: GIS-assisted monitoring methods for sustainable apiculture and the use of biological control agents like the Samurai Wasp.
We were honored to feature a keynote presentation by the distinguished Prof. Dr. Bedir Tekinerdoğan from Wageningen University & Research, who discussed the revolutionary potential of Digital Twins in smart beekeeping. He was joined by a roster of esteemed speakers, including Gülsüm Çiğdem Çavdaroğlu, Elif Deniz Yelmenoğlu, İpek Ünlüakın, and many others who delivered insightful presentations.
Outcomes and Publications:
A key outcome of the workshop is the compilation of the presented scientific research, which directly contributes to the goals of the Beeoptech project. All proceedings are now available for review on our “Publications” page. These publications represent the latest scientific advancements and underscore our commitment to fostering innovation.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all participants who made this event a remarkable success. The insights and collaborations forged here will significantly advance the objectives of the Beeoptech project and contribute to a more sustainable future for beekeeping.
