Alberta founding pilot
Your field experience should shape the first release.
We are inviting commercial beekeepers, growers and field crews to help test which information makes colony moves more predictable. Early participants can try the pilot workflows at no charge.
Where we are starting
The Alberta pilot focuses on pollination work: predicting a useful flowering window, updating the expected colony release date and confirming field access before a retrieval crew leaves. We want the workflow to reflect how commercial operations actually make those decisions.
Beekeepers
Which decisions are hardest to make before you send colonies or a retrieval crew?
Growers
What bloom and field conditions determine when colonies are needed or can be released?
Field crews
What must be confirmed before a truck starts the trip?
What happens after retrieval?
Do colonies return to a known yard, move to another crop or need a new forage site? If you compare possible next locations, tell us what information helps you make that choice. Our separate site-selection sample gives one example of how candidate places can be reviewed.
Start with a short email
Tell us your role, the crops or work you are involved in, and the one piece of information you most wish you had before a move or retrieval trip. You can answer in a few sentences. There is no need to schedule a meeting to begin.

Subject suggestion: “Bee GPS Alberta pilot”. We will respond in writing and invite you to help shape the first pollination workflow.
