Ethan Liang and Rory Hu developed BeeGuard AI for bee protection.

Teenagers Ethan Liang and Rory Hu have developed BeeGuard, an AI-driven web application aimed at safeguarding honeybee colonies. Given that bees are crucial for pollinating one-third of global crops, beekeepers face a significant challenge, losing approximately 40% of their hives annually.

BeeGuard boasts a remarkable 94.7% accuracy in detecting threats through computer vision and sound analysis, requiring no additional hardware. Field tests on actual hives revealed that it identified issues weeks in advance and achieved a 100% success rate in subsequent interventions. The creators aspire for BeeGuard to benefit millions of beekeepers around the globe.
