Abstract

In an aspect, a decision platform that optimizes honey value chain can be provided. The decision platform may receive images of a geographic region including catchment areas, run a first machine learning model with the images as input to identify resources in the catchment areas, run a second machine learning model with the identified resources to predict pollen and nectar concentration in the catchment areas, run a third machine learning model with at least the predicted pollen and nectar concentration to predict honey yield in each of the catchment areas, and determine placement of a swarm to at least one of the catchment areas. The decision platform may also control an unmanned aerial vehicle to guide the swarm to at least one of the catchment areas.
