Machine learning methods applied to study bumblebees

Ljubljana, 9 December - Slovenian scientists have set out to better understand wild bees, whose role has long been neglected in agriculture even though they are in general more effective pollinators than honeybees. To achieve that, they are working on a design for the first monitoring of wild bees using advanced machine learning methods.
