IntelliBeeHive: An Automated Honey Bee, Pollen, and Varroa Destructor Monitoring System [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Utilizing computer vision and the latest technological advancements, in this study, we developed a honey bee monitoring system that aims to enhance our understanding of Colony Collapse Disorder, honey bee behavior, population decline, and overall hive health. The system is positioned at the hive entrance providing real-time data, enabling beekeepers to
