Bega Launches Novel Project to Protect Bees in Australia

Australia-based Bega Cheese Limited, in partnership with Thinkerbell, announced the launch of the Purple Hive Project in July 2020, furthering its commitment to provide sufficient safeguards to honey bees across Australia. The project is premised on a solar-powered, AI-driven hive designed to detect the Varroa Destructor, a type of mite known to destroy bee colonies around the globe. B honey, the solution developed by Bega and Thinkerbell under the Purple Hive project, works on an AI algorithm that scans bees entering the hive and identifies those carrying the Varroa parasite. Once detected, alerts are sent to the beekeeper or the concerned authorities that can take the necessary steps to prevent the spread of the mite in the hive.

Incredible Health Benefits of Honey to Put the Market on a Stable Growth Trajectory

Honey is one of the best and the most potent remedies available in nature. Beekeeping and honey production activities have been conducted since several centuries and as scientific knowledge expanded, the awareness about the numerous health benefits of this ingredient also rapidly spread around the world. While the most common use of this sweet liquid is to treat sore throat, research has shown that this natural sweetener can be efficient and effective in treating more serious ailments and injuries as well. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the MGM Medical College and MY Hospital in Madhya Pradesh, India found that honey leaves much less scarring caused by burn wounds, enhances healing, and makes such wounds sterile in less time compared to common dressing used for burns such as silver sulfadiazine. Further, a research study from Dubai showed that honey is an effective topical treatment for oral as well as genital herpes and is considerably better in reducing itchiness compared to regular ointments. These and several more health advantages will ensure the sustained growth of this market.
