Utilising Iot Technologies To Improve Beekeeping Through Remote Hive Monitoring

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) technology on beekeeping, with a particular emphasis on remote hive monitoring. The use of IoT has changed beekeeping, which is vital for pollination and honey production. Beekeepers now have access to real-time data on hive conditions. The study highlights the value of remote monitoring in proactive hive management and early detection as a means of addressing issues that conventional beekeeping techniques encounter.  The elements of vibration, audio, temperature, humidity, hive weight, and other sensors that are part of remote monitoring systems are explained. Together, these sensors add to a thorough knowledge of the behaviour and health of hives. Beekeepers may take rapid, well-informed decisions thanks to real-time data transmission to centralized platforms, which encourages proactive interventions and improves overall hive management. The benefits of remote monitoring are emphasized, including improved production, resource efficiency, and early problem discovery. Early detection of diseases and pests reduces the impact on bee colonies, and resource efficiency results from a decreased need for frequent physical inspections. Optimized hive management based on real-time data analytics leads to increased production. There are recognized difficulties, including data security, implementation costs, and the requirement for education among beekeepers. The symbiotic relationship between conventional beekeeping knowledge and cutting-edge Internet of Things advancements, pointing to a peaceful and sustainable future for apiculture. This study highlights the critical role that remote hive monitoring plays in improving beekeeping techniques, protecting the health of bees, and promoting ecological balance through increased sustainability and productivity.
