Blending Bees & Bytes: Advancing My Journey in Apiculture and AI.

For over two decades, I’ve worked closely with bees — in forests, farms, and remote communities — uncovering the quiet brilliance of apiculture. Today, I am taking a bold new step to integrate this deep-rooted knowledge with the power of technology. I am diving deeper into palynology — the microscopic study of pollen — and combining it with artificial intelligence to enhance the way we identify floral origins and authenticate honey.
The images you see are early-stage outputs — raw data generated through AI interaction. These visuals represent just the beginning of what’s possible. The imaging is still in its preliminary phase, and there is substantial work ahead to ensure each pollen specimen is matched with high botanical accuracy.
To build stronger foundations for this vision, I will be embarking on a five-month full-time course in Artificial Intelligence. During this period, I’ll be placing my travel plans on hold to fully dedicate myself to learning how AI can serve the beekeeping and agricultural sectors more effectively. This is a deliberate investment into building tools that will one day enable faster, more accurate, and accessible pollen identification — bridging science with sustainability.
I hope that after acquiring this knowledge, I will be able to share it with others at the new Little Honey Man home base — a space dedicated to learning, innovation, and reconnecting with nature through bees.
This is only the beginning. I remain committed to exploring how technology and tradition can evolve together, creating a future where innovation supports authenticity and ecological stewardship.
This is just the first buzz of what’s to come.
