Two of the most important parameters / factors that affect the well-being, prosperity and robustness of a bee colony are the temperature and the humidity inside the hive.
Furthermore, the continuous monitoring of the weight of a hive provides additional data which, when considered together with the two parameters mentioned above, provide an overall picture of the good condition of a hive and, by extension, of an apiary.
In the present thesis, we develop a complete Precision Beekeeping application which is a subdivision of Smart Agriculture-Breeding. The development of an application for measuring and recording temperature and humidity data, is achieved by using modern methods of Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
By applying detection technologies, in particular temperature and humidity sensors, real-time measurements are recorded.
Then, through IoT technologies, the data is transferred and stored in the computing cloud (Cloud), while at the same time the data is analyzed and visualized with MATLAB, with the possibility, at a future stage, of sending an awareness sort message service (sms) or email.
At the same time the processed data can be used by the beekeeper in order to make decisions according to the data, for example whether or not he should proceed with an on-site visit to the beehive area, as well as what interventions he should choose (control, reduce/increase frames, treat diseases, feed, etc.). This data at a future stage can be used as an input to decision-making tools.
At the same time and in order to understand both the purpose and the means of the application that was developed, a brief description is made of:
a) the basic principles of Mesotherapy, the environmental conditions and how they affect the
prosperity of a hive;
b) the basics of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its modern applications (smart city, smart
farming, smart home)
c) the topology and the analysis of the operation of the tools used (sensors, Bluetooth/cloud
connection, etc)
Finally, a detailed presentation is made of the design of the application, the measurements, the analysis of the results, the conclusions and their interpretation, as well as of the way of making decisions.
