Abstract Text Bees collect pollen from a variety of plant species. This pollen diversity is both an indicator of biodiversity and a balanced diet for bees which has a positive effect on their health. Traditionally, pollen diversity is determined by invasively and manually collecting and analysing the pollen. In this paper, we present a heuristic for assessing the pollen diversity around a hive using data on flora. This data-driven approach is both efficient and non-invasive. We evaluated our approach against the results of a microscope analysis, showing that it delivers useable results, despite the lack of flora data in some places. As a next step, we will incorporate data from our AI-based video monitoring system of hives to match plants based on pollen colours that were detected in the images.
