Brian Spiesman w/ Bee Machine- EP016 Hyve Time™ Beekeeping Podcast
Description
On today's episode, I sit down with Brian Spiesman, a community and landscape ecologist at the University of Kansas, who is broadly interested in how environmental change affects the diversity and function of ecological communities. He has a focus on understanding how land cover change affects communities of plants and their pollinators. The goal of his research is to wrangle knowledge of complex systems for the effective conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Brian also helped create the Bee Machine™, an application for identifying bumble bee species using machine learning. We discuss the Bee Machine and what it does, how it was developed, how it works, and the future of the application. We also discuss the relationship between habitat and the web of species that rely on each other for survival.
