Leveraging Quantum Technologies and Artificial Intelligence for Bee Behavior Studies

World honey production stands at about 1.831 million tons, trending upward for the third consecutive year (+5,6% compared to 2021). China, India and Argentina are the top exporters in the world, Ukraine, Spain and Belgium are the top in Europe. As for italy, the number of beekeepers producing honey for marketing has grown by 8% between 2019 and 2023 [8]. As in other contexts, honey producers must incur costs. In particular, expenses incurred in the purchase of drugs and nutrition products are a major cost item [4]. In particular, climatic instability and desertification in some areas have forced many beekeepers to resort to rescue feeding, an extremely expensive operation that exacerbates production costs, and is more significant in terms of its weight on total costs as the economic size of the farm increases [4]. Informamiele’s 2023 Honey Cost Report analyzes honey market trends in production costs, market prices, and economic factors. Beekeeping’s economic viability, market demand, and environmental effects on honey production are covered in this detailed report. By highlighting the honey industry’s challenges and opportunities, the findings benefit beekeepers, market analysts, and policymakers. This analysis is crucial for market understanding and strategic decision-making amid changing economic and environmental conditions [4].
