“…Mekanisme ini akan menimbulkan suara dengungan yang agak keras di dalam sarang. Oleh karena itu, modifikasi tipe sarang diperlukan agar suhu tertinggi tidak melebihi 33ºC dan tidak menurunkan kualitas propolis (Basrawi, Hamid, Bahari, Noordin, & Yusof, 2017).…”

The Trigona sp. bees do not require specific breeding treatment. Nevertheless, selection of shade, container or media to cultivate this stingless bee can be engineered to increase the production of honey. This study was aimed to determine the effect of diameter, length, and thickness of bamboo used as a beehive of Trigona sp. The beehive was prepared from 54 thorny bamboo’s culms with various sizes. Hole was made on the culms where the queen and propolis could be inserted into the culms. Those inserted culms were then put in the cultivation place. The honey resulted from each culm was calculated after 4 months of the cultivation. The results showed that total honey production, HPB (honey, propolis, bee bread), and bee bread were 221.3 g, 792.7 g, and 33.8 g. Regression analysis revealed that there wa a significant effect of bamboo’s diameter on honey production, but not on bee bread, egg’s weight and HPB. Recommended diameter of bamboo culms for the cultivation of Trigona sp. was about 6-12 cm to obtain better quantity of honey

“…These sensors have several functions, but their main goal is to monitor and record temperature, humidity, and environmental data. This is particularly important for stingless bees since they are more sensitive to parameter changes compared to other types of bees [16][17][18].…”

The paper aims to develop a weight-sensing system and monitoring platform to track the activity patterns of a stingless bee colony using a weight-sensing system that consists of an Arduino Mega, a NodeMCU ESP8266, and load cell as weight sensors with a Real-Time Clock (RTC) module. The system was designed with an improved weight sensor that includes triangle or delta positioning and placement for greater stability on the log hive. It also featured real-time mobile monitoring via the Blynk application, which sends weight measurements continuously via Wi-Fi. It shows that the weight fluctuations indicate that the stingless bees are most active in their foraging activities between 9:00 and 13:00, with occasional activity between 21:00 and 22:00, gathering food sources to produce honey or beebread. Consequently, analysing the daily pattern of weight measurements using a correlation analysis throughout a week enable beekeepers to observe their diverse foraging patterns. These patterns can be strongly linked to the movements of active bees, human interference, or environmental errors when the correlation value approaches one. The findings of this research can assist beekeepers in understanding routine activities by observing the foraging patterns of stingless bees, which could reveal valuable insights regarding bee health and honey production levels and help detect a decline in the bee colony. This can be achieved by utilising Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enhance hive management practices.

“…A study by Harun et al, [13] focused on monitoring many environmental factors in real time. Basrawi et al, [14] and Ramli et al, [15] analysed the thermal performance of a vented honey cassette for stingless bees in order to compare the temperature of the honey compartment when ventilation holes are present compared to when they are not.…”

The trend of stingless bees’ farm in Malaysia has increased recently as it has been proven that its honey gives various benefits to human beings. This trend requires beekeepers to do more frequent inspections of beehives. However, the current practice of opening the cover to inspect the colony and honey will disrupt colony activity. According to a recent study, these stingless bees can only survive between 22 and 38 degrees Celsius, and harsh weather conditions might lead to the collapse of bee colonies. In order to ensure a consistent honey production, the IoT monitoring system will be implemented on an artificial stingless beehive. The system is equipped with an embedded system that utilizes a NodeMCU ESP8266, temperature and humidity sensors, and load cell sensors. Next, honey compartment weight, temperature and humidity inside stingless beehive, and temperature and humidity outside stingless beehive will be uploaded to the Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, namely Thingspeak and Cayenne. The data is sent to Thingspeak via the REST API while to Cayenne by the MQTT API. All data from the artificial stingless bee hive indicating the occurrence of colony rising and has been uploaded to the IoT platform. By analysing the data that were recorded for 13 days, all of the input data such as the weight of the honey compartment, the temperature in the hive, and the humidity in the hive, display its respective characteristics. For the honey compart weight, it has been found that the stingless bee colony is rising as a result of the increasing honey and colony in the compartment weight. Regarding the hive temperature, it has been determined that the temperature inside the hive is stable around 26°C to 38°C in normal weather conditions. Whereas for humidity inside the hive, it is remained between 76.5% and 85.6% due to the moisture from the honey inside the compartment. Lastly, these results indicate that the colony living in the artificial hive of stingless bees is healthy and growing.
