The Living
Laboratory
Every zone across 100 acres is a research plot. Every sensor is a data point. Every season produces insights that no single-purpose lab could generate.
What We Measure
Four interconnected data streams feed into a unified, open-source research platform.
Environmental Monitoring
40–60 IoT sensor nodes tracking soil moisture, temperature, humidity, light levels, wind speed, and barometric pressure across all 100 acres. Data collected every 60 seconds across 12 rotating ecosystem zones.
Machine Vision Species ID
AI-powered cameras identify pollinator species in real-time, mapping flight paths, plant preferences, and visitation frequency. Training on 50,000+ labeled images from on-site data across Central Florida's diverse bee populations.
Pollen & Nectar Analysis
Systematic collection and laboratory analysis of pollen loads, nectar sugar concentrations, and bioactive compound profiles across all blooming species on the 100-acre property.
Crop Nutrition Correlation
HPLC analysis linking specific pollinator activity to measurable changes in crop taste, nutritional density, and bioactive content. The first systematic study of its kind at this scale.
Research Timeline
A phased approach building complexity on proven foundations across the 10-year Phase 1.
Foundation & Baseline
AI & Scale
Intelligence Platform
All Data. All Open.
Every sensor reading, every species identification, every research finding — published openly and queryable by anyone, anywhere. From the Polivitalis Institute to every Polihub in the network.
