Analysis of Energy Consumption in a Precision Beekeeping System [PDF]
, 2020 Honey bees have been domesticated by humans for several thousand years and mainly provide honey and pollination, which is fundamental for plant reproduction. Nowadays, the work of beekeepers is constrained by external factors that stress their production (parasites and pesticides among others). Taking care of large numbers of beehives is time-consuming,

HiveLink, an IoT based Smart Bee Hive Monitoring System [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 HiveLink, the IoT-based Smart Bee Hive Monitoring System addresses the challenges faced by beekeepers in managing the influence of environmental impact, diseases, and collapse in honey bee colonies. Integrated with advanced sensors, the system monitors temperature, humidity, hive weight, and diurnal cycle. Leveraging IoT technology, the system provides

A Machine Learning Approach to Forecasting Honey Production with Tree-Based Methods [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The beekeeping sector has undergone considerable production variations over the past years due to adverse weather conditions, occurring more frequently as climate change progresses. These phenomena can be high-impact and cause the environment to be unfavorable to the bees' activity.
