Abstract

Currently, the beekeeping method in IIUM is based on manual monitoring by human inspection to see the condition of the stingless bees. However, frequent manual monitoring by opening the lid can stress the colonies causing colony collapsed disorder (CCD). Therefore, this project offers a smart apiary system prototype to add value in preserving the species and the environment because bees are good pollinators. It can benefit the users in tracking the health status of stingless bees by proposing an IoT-based monitoring system. One way is to develop a real-time autonomous beekeeping system that offers several insights to the apiarists in terms of weight, temperature, humidity and pressure caused by intrusions. These parameters can be monitored with a wireless mobile application. The hardware consists of a microcontroller board (Arduino Uno) based on the ATmega328P, a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, an HX711 load cell sensor and an FSR402 force sensor connected to ESP8266 wifi module for internet access. The user interface was developed with the Blynk platform to display all information and provide alarms for unwanted incidents or emergencies that need to be catered, such as sudden pressure surges exerted on the beehive log and temperature beyond 40°C.
