“…The aim of the work presented by Shaghaghi et al in [31] is to enable beekeepers getting specific and accurate data about which frames inside a hive are ready for harvesting, thus avoiding the costly and time-consuming activity of daily inspection of every frame within each hive of every apiary. In this work, the weight measurement of each frame is performed by using a pair of Force Sensing Resistors (FSRs), located at each ledge onto which the frame rests.…”

The widespread decline of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies registered in recent years has raised great attention to the need of gathering deeper knowledge about this phenomenon, by observing the colonies’ activity to identify possible causes, and design corresponding countermeasures. In fact, honey bees have well-known positive effects on both the environment and human life, and their preservation becomes critical not only for ecological reasons, but also for the social and economic development of rural communities. Smart sensor systems are being developed for real-time and long-term measurement of relevant parameters related to beehive conditions, such as the hive weight, sounds emitted by the bees, temperature, humidity, and CO 2 inside the beehive, as well as weather conditions outside. This paper presents a multisensor platform designed to measure the aforementioned parameters from beehives deployed in the field, and shows how the fusion of different sensor measurements may provide insights on the status of the colony, its interaction with the surrounding environment, and the influence of climatic conditions.

“…The massive collection of data requires cloud server platforms to transfer the data to the database for storage. In the choice of cloud platform, Hong et al [8] and Shaghaghi et al [10] selected MySQL with PHP to develop database for storage and website page for display. The same way implemented by Zacepins et al [11] to store the data with the MySQL database.…”

Currently, the beekeeping method in IIUM is based on manual monitoring by human inspection to see the condition of the stingless bees. However, frequent manual monitoring by opening the lid can stress the colonies causing colony collapsed disorder (CCD). Therefore, this project offers a smart apiary system prototype to add value in preserving the species and the environment because bees are good pollinators. It can benefit the users in tracking the health status of stingless bees by proposing an IoT-based monitoring system. One way is to develop a real-time autonomous beekeeping system that offers several insights to the apiarists in terms of weight, temperature, humidity and pressure caused by intrusions. These parameters can be monitored with a wireless mobile application. The hardware consists of a microcontroller board (Arduino Uno) based on the ATmega328P, a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, an HX711 load cell sensor and an FSR402 force sensor connected to ESP8266 wifi module for internet access. The user interface was developed with the Blynk platform to display all information and provide alarms for unwanted incidents or emergencies that need to be catered, such as sudden pressure surges exerted on the beehive log and temperature beyond 40°C.
