Inscentinel's professional beekeeper and scientists have produced a year round supply of honeybees, which is vital for both our research program and year-round supply of sensing solutions.

A wealth of knowledge has been generated by Inscentinel and healthy bees are available 24hours a day, 7 days a week.

Bees are happy undertaking their sniffing tasks and are comfortable throughout, only healthy bees work effectively.

One hive can contain around 60,000 bees, offering a vast quantity of individual sensor units which can be used in arrays to statistically detect specific chemical odours.

After their working shift the bees are returned to their hive where they happily live out the rest of their lives and are integrated back into the hive.
