Game Changers
We respect beekeepersWe respect all those in the industry who have been producing healthy honey in the pristine Australian environment in the traditional way over the years. We also respect the methods and experiences of the past. However, the global challenges we face in production and sales clearly exist, and we need to actively respond to these challenges. |  |
 | Knowing IndustryRay and Simon, who had been preparing to develop ideas and products for remote unmanned devices, had a conversation with Josh, a young beekeeper of South Australia, about Honey, and had an opportunity to hear about the various situations facing the beekeepers. During that conversation, we got a look at the current reality of the Australian beekeeping industry and an opportunity to closely look at the global honey market. And we came to two conclusions:
And we started to study how to create a more controllable production environment and how to create conditions where beekeepers can take more profits. |
We are true market believersWe believe the bottom line lies in the market, making products that can be marketed, and reducing the distribution process so that consumers can enjoy more of better honey at a better price. We don't think technology is lacking in our time. However, we decided that it was important to arrange and adjust the technologies that are right for us so that consumers and producers can use them beneficially. |  |
 | BeeSTARAnd we came to develop BeeSTAR. BeeSTAR will serve as a platform that connects producers and consumers and will increase market credibility by proving and certifying products that consumers want, and this credibility lies in transparency and accuracy. LB Agtech has developed BeeSTAR with a focus on transparency and accuracy, and is currently testing it, and plans to supply BeeSTAR to over 100 apiaries soon for upscale testing across Australia. |
