Abstract

Honey is a natural sweetener that is widely available across the world. Honey can produce by honey bees and stingless bees. It is important to keep the stingless beehives in good condition for the bees working. Colony loss is the main problems were affected by many of factors such as smoke, temperature and humidity. The farmer needs to monitor the condition of stingless-bee hives. However, using conventional monitoring required a lot of time. Therefore, in this paper, the main objective is to design and develop IoT monitoring system for stingless-bee hives. The parameter that will be measured including temperature and humidity inside the hives, smoke gas around the hives and weight of the hives are measured by using suitable sensors. With WI-fi connection, the data can be transfer to the Cloud and able the beekeepers to monitor on User-Interface at the webpage on any smart devices for the status update. In this preliminary implementation, the IoT real-time monitoring system to measure parameters of temperature, humidity, weight, and smoke of hive has been developed. All experimental results obtained were analyzed, presented, and discussed in this paper.
