The BioDT Pollinator pDT is a digital tool designed to assess the quality of landscapes for honey bees. This innovative prototype combines real-world data with advanced simulation techniques to provide actionable insights for conservation efforts.

The BioDT Pollinator pDT is built upon a robust technical foundation. Customised scripts meticulously translate real-world data (like land use maps and weather patterns) into a format that can be readily understood by the established BEEHAVE honey bee model. This model, originally developed in NetLogo, allows researchers to simulate honey bee behaviour and performance under various conditions.

The webinar took place on 22nd of May 2024, the International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB), also known as World Biodiversity Day.
