Niagara College students are using cutting-edge bioacoustic technology to support global pollinator conservation through a partnership with U.K. based AgriSound.
Ecosystem Restoration students are deploying solar-powered monitoring units that track bumblebee activity in real time by analyzing wingbeat frequencies, allowing researchers to study pollinators without disrupting their habitats.
The data helps identify behavioural patterns and seasonal trends to inform future restoration efforts.
The project gives students hands-on experience with advanced technology while contributing to research on pollinator health, a growing global concern.
