Wait till the media get a hold of this one!
Uncompromised population growth of invasive insects endangers biodiversity, agribusinesses, and ecosystems. One such example is the invasion of Vespa hornets in honey harvesting areas which leads to a devastating impact on honeybee ecology and subsequently on the economic activities linked with it. ...
The presence of Vespa hornets near beehives has an overwhelming impact on the honeybees’ normal activities which results in degraded performance of the hive’s foraging force. ... In continuation to the efforts being made to conserve and grow the population of honeybees, the recognition of Vespa hornets near beehives can potentially be a significant value addition to the existing smart beehive systems which currently lack in predicting the forthcoming invasion. ...
The recognition framework demonstrated a classification accuracy of 97.1% for two hornet types of the genus Vespa along with the honeybee Apis mellifera. ... The proposed strategy indicating promising results is a pioneering work of applying AI in the domain of entomology and apiculture to have the detection capability for invasive insects in the vicinity of beehives to make them safer and smarter.
