Software
The SwarmSense Beehive System combines sensors, servers, and software to monitor key hive parameters. Internal sensors track sound, temperature, and humidity inside the hive, while external sensors measure environmental conditions. The autonomous sensors installed in the hive transmit the data to a central server. Data are then processed and presented to the beekeepers in an accessible way, offering insights and alerts.
This beehive protection and monitoring system is designed to support small-scale beekeeping.
KEY FEATURES & INNOVATION
- Temperature and humidity monitoring: SwarmSense provides the temperature and humidity levels within the beehive.
- Sound wave data: it analyses this data to detect the health status of the bees and identify any potential dangers, such as predator species invading the hive.
- Real-time alerts and insights: it sends alerts and provides insights to beekeepers on the situation in the beehive real-time.
BENEFITS
- Increased productivity: SwarmSense reduces the need of human intervention, keeping bees in optimal conditions close to their natural environment.
- Threat detection: Early alerts for predators or health issues allow timely interventions to prevent hive losses.
- Timely decision-making: Real-time data helps optimise management and costs.
ACCESSIBILITY
SwarmSense is user-friendly. Farmers can install it and access all monitoring data autonomously.
