Mike Bronikowski is the Co-founder and CEO of BuzzHive, a Binghamton‑based agtech company securing the future of pollination by building tools for modern apiaries. He blends applied physics and computer science with years of beekeeping experience to translate the language of bees using AI-powered hardware that “listens” to hive acoustics and tracks environmental signals, giving beekeepers early mitigation strategies for destructive mites, swarms and winter loss. Since teaming up with Co-founder Luke Riddoch, BuzzHive earned first‑place statewide wins at the New York Business Plan Competition in 2024 (Software & Services) and 2025 (Food & AgTech) and Cornell’s 2025 DigitalAg Hackathon Grand Prize.
