Episode 58 | Robots for Bees - Innovation for Pollination | Tai Nicolopoulos
In this episode of Machine Minds, we sit down with Tai Nicolopoulos, VP of Marketing at Beewise, a groundbreaking company on a mission to stop and reverse the global bee-collapse. Using cutting-edge precision robotics, AI/ML, and IoT technology, Beewise is creating the Bee Home—a revolutionary device that prioritizes bees’ health and natural habitat over the outdated, human-designed hives from the past.
Join us as we explore Beewise’s foundation story, how their mission aims to assist commercial beekeepers in pollination and honey production while helping #savethebees. Tai also shares insights into the risks facing the global bee population, her academic journey with a master’s from Stanford, and valuable advice for those looking to enter the world of marketing. Tune in to learn how Beewise is using technology to give bees a healthier, more productive way of living, and how their innovations are reshaping modern agriculture.
