## About

Based in Indiana, US, and founded in 2016, The Bee Corp. operates as a developer of pollination success measurement, and hive grading platform, intended to help growers and beekeepers. In February 2022, The Bee Corp. raised USD 1 million in venture funding led by IU Ventures, with participation from Flywheel Fund. As of October 2022, the company is being led by its Chief Executive Officer, Ellie Symes.

The Bee Corp. develops and offers Verifli, a software-based hive grading solution that utilizes infrared (IR) imaging technology to continuously monitor and manage beehives. The company’s non-invasive, IR hardware system measures the strength and pollination value of a honeybee colony by creating thermal images, and the firm’s software transforms these images into data, helping growers to optimize pollination quality and minimize cost, and beekeepers to maximize pollination revenue per hive with objective hive strength data.

The Bee Corp. intends to use the February 2022 funding to enhance its technology and launch its product.
