Automated pollinator monitoring for real-time environmental insight

The Sensibee platform delivers clear, actionable data for biodiversity decisions, empowering you to drive nature recovery, measure impact, and report with confidence.

Reliable pollinator data leads to better biodiversity decisions.Our growing network of devices creates unprecedented insight into pollinator health and activity.Together, we can protect these essential species, secure our food supply, and enhance natural ecosystems for future generations.

The pollination crisis

Pollinators are essentialThey sustain our crops, represent food for birds and small mammals, and are critical for reproduction of flowering plants.Without them, our ecosystems would collapse.But their future is at risk:Long-term studies reveal alarming declines in pollinating species—from bees and butterflies to hoverflies and beetles.Current monitoring methods fall short:– Sparse and fragmented
– Time-consuming and reliant on specialist expertise
– Incapable of providing real-time insights

“Insects are the most diverse and abundant group of animals that ever lived.
They made the world.
They maintain the world…
If the creatures that made the world disappear entirely,
I’m pretty sure we will too.”
– George McGavin

We need answers to critical questions

  • How can we effectively measure biodiversity net gain?

  • What are the best strategies for managing land to support nature recovery?

  • How successful are our habitat restoration efforts?

  • When do agricultural sites require pollination support?

  • What impacts do extreme weather, pesticides, or pollution have on pollinators?

  • How broadly distributed are particular rare or invasive species?

  • In which habitats do different species thrive?

  • How can we provide solid evidence to demonstrate environmental compliance?

  • Which conservation actions deliver the greatest results?

The UK alone is home to 1,500 pollinator species,
essential for 75% of the food we grow.

Decline icon

Many pollinator species are declining, with many species at risk of extinction.

Ecosystem icon

Pollinator losses endanger our agriculture and ecosystems, disrupting the balance that sustains life on Earth.

Our Team

We're passionate about pollinators. Sensibee™ was born from a frustration that little is known about most pollinator populations, and that as a society we've been bad at caring for them.Our efforts are all aimed at overcoming the technological and scaling hurdles needed to help businesses, farmers, councils, chemical companies, academics, and conservation organizations make more informed decisions that lead to better outcomes.We aim to provide a step-change in understanding of pollinator health, distribution and abundance.
