Real-time biodiversity data, from a station that runs itself.
Sensibee is a solar-powered camera station that photographs pollinators as they visit and identifies them with cloud AI — giving any site a continuous, non-lethal record of what's flying. Already monitoring pollinators from London to the United States.
How Sensibee works
One self-contained station. It attracts pollinators, photographs them, and does the identification in the cloud — so you get species-level data without a specialist on site or a single insect harmed.
Solar & autonomous
Self-powered stations run unattended through the seasons, drawing pollinators to a fixed point and photographing each visitor.
Cloud-AI identification
Each image is sent over mobile data to cloud AI, which names the species and updates the live picture within the hour.
Non-lethal
Insects are photographed and left to carry on foraging — nothing is trapped or killed.
Continuous, not snapshots
One station watches the same spot every day, building a dense, comparable record no single survey could match.
Why pollinators
Pollinators respond quickly and locally to changes in habitat, so watching them closely is one of the earliest ways to tell whether nature is recovering or slipping.
Not a prototype. A network you can join.
Sensibee stations are already monitoring pollinators in public parks, private estates and farmland — with a stated aim of 100,000 worldwide. Every station adds continuous, comparable, location-specific data to a growing picture of pollinator health.
🇬🇧 King's Cross, London
Stations image pollinators feeding across a range of planted habitats, identifying species and counting them in real time.
🇺🇸 Astoria Park, USA
The first organisation in the United States to deploy Sensibee, tracking pollinator activity to guide habitat work.
🏛️ Backed by Defra & UKRI
Supported through a three-year, £13.6M Department for Environment and UK Research and Innovation programme.
🎯 Aiming for 100,000
A planned international network of stations to make pollinator monitoring routine, not exceptional.
Data you can act on
The result isn't an archive to analyse later — it's a live signal, and records you can put to work.
Real-time dashboards
See which pollinators are active now, not months after a survey.
Reporting-ready records
Time-stamped, location-specific data that stands up in biodiversity reporting and audits.
Lower cost per data point
No specialist call-outs or travel, so continuous data costs a fraction of manual surveys.
