When foraging on flowers, honeybees bring back pollen and nectar which they store in their hive. BeeOdiversity has developed a specific method of genetic analysis (DNA) and metabarcoding that makes it possible to identify the DNA of the plant species present on the monitored surface through pollen analysis. BeeOdiversity then establishes an inventory of plant biodiversity including quantitative and qualitative biodiversity indicators per period. These indicators also make it possible to assess the quality of the ecosystem for insects, birds and other species.

On the basis of the results obtained, a very detailed strategy for preserving and regenerating biodiversity can be adopted through, for example, an adaptation of the management of green spaces, or the implementation of additional facilities.

The impact of these actions on local biodiversity can be measured precisely via the evolution of the BeeOmonitoring data.
