Automated Pollination Information System (APIS) is a Senior Project created by Jake Bezold(bezoldj1@tcnj.edu), Matt Kilcher(kilchem2@tcnj.edu), Adam Varone(varonea1@tcnj.edu), and Zach Warcola(warolz1@tcnj.edu) with advisor Dr. Larry Pearlstein(pearlstl@tcnj.edu) at the The College of New Jersey (TCNJ).
