The past three years of war have had a serious impact on farms across the country, including in the north, where farmers have continued their work under the incessant buzzing of not bees, but drones.

The GPS-enabled tech works alongside bees and other pollinators to help growers maximise crop health and growth
As war strains labor, movement and field access during a critical spring bloom, growers are relying on BloomX’s AI-guided pollination technology to protect fruit set, stabilize yields and keep next season’s harvest on track
Avocados, almonds and blueberries rely on pollinators that are disappearing as farms lean on honeybees alone; why biodiversity matters for yields, prices and long-term food security in a warming world
Thai Sade is the co-founder and CEO of BloomX. This week on “How I Built This” Lab, how Thai’s company is helping farmers ease the burden on bees. Plus, how Thai’s upbringing on a kibbutz inspired him to tackle global challenges in agriculture, and how BloomX is contributing to rainforest conservation in Latin America.
“We are not replacing bees… but rather, offering more efficient pollinating methods to farmers, and reducing the dependence on commercial honeybees”
An interview with the CEO of BloomX reveals how advanced biomimicking robotic tools and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are mimicking Earth’s natural pollinators.
BloomX on AI data, biomimicking machines, and a better controlled pollination
Given our general reliance on something called “food” you’d think the issue of pollination — and its general decline — might be higher up the world’s agenda. Over 80% of crops require insect pollination, but growers can no longer rely on the dwindling wild bee population.
