Precision apiculture supported by space technologies

The PASST product aims at solving the problem of pollinators protection, especially honey bees, by providing a mobile application that allows for precise apiculture supported by space technologies. The service targets the whole apiculture sector, mainly people managing the hives and the companies owning big professional apiaries, as well as agricultural producers closely cooperating with beekeepers and national, provincial and local structures of apiculture associations. It also targets farmers who are aware of the role of bee pollinators in conducting ecological and sustainable agriculture. The access to the space assets is crucial to proper PASST application functioning. The identification of crops based on satellite positioning systems as a location source enabling the navigation to the object allows for fast and efficient search of facilities in field. Satellite products offered as part of the Copernicus project allows to search for benefits and to determine at what stage of vegetation the plants are.
