Application of wireless sensor networks in precision apiculture.14th International Scıentific Conference: Engineering For Rural Development. 440-445.1691-30431691-5976https://hdl.handle.net/11492/303714th International Scientific Conference Engineering For Rural Development -- MAY 20-22, 2015 -- Jelgava, LATVIAWOS:000380531200072Wireless sensor networks are used in different fields. One of the fields, where such sensors can be used is apiculture for honey bee (Apis Mellifera L.) monitoring (for example, temperature and humidity data acquisition). This paper introduces a wireless sensor network system for bee colonies online monitoring. The developed wireless system consists of several wireless measurement nodes which transfer colony data to one main unit, which then sends the received data to the cloud database server. Users can see and analyze data using the developed Web system. To this moment temperature and humidity are monitored using the SHT15 sensor. Real time temperature and humidity monitoring of the bee colonies can provide the beekeeper with actual and timely data and information to help identify various states of the bee colonies. Due to the fact, that these sensor data are transmitted wirelessly, it is also easier for the beekeeper to set up such a system (there is no wiring needed).enPrecision ApiculturePrecision BeekeepingBee Colony MonitoringWireless SensorsWireless Sensor NetworksConference Object440445info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess2-s2.0-84937430070WOS:000380531200072Q3N/A
