Beside honeybee, many solitary bee species numbers are dwindling in the wild. It is hoped this app can assist in identifying bee species for tracking.
Using fastai, trained a CNN ResNet-18 model (FlattenedLoss of CrossEntropyLoss) on 295903 images of 99 bee species I sourced from https://species.biodiversityireland.ie/ list of bee species native to Ireland (and other geographical locations).

Note: the bee dataset I created is highly imbalanced.
