This ApisProtect sensor is placed in the hive and continuously
monitors the temperature, humidity, bee movement and sound levels inside. The
data is transmitted to a base station, and onto a cloud-based server. There,
it's analyzed utilizing machine learning – based on data gathered from hundreds of
hives over a three-year period.
Utilizing an online dashboard, beekeepers can check on their
processed hive data. Additionally, if the system determines that problems such
as disease or pest infestations may be occurring in one or more of the hives,
users are notified immediately via a smartphone alert. https://newatlas.com/good-thinking/apisprotect-beehive-monitoring/
Scott Morrison is correct to focus on moving
the focus to ‘solutions versus empty gestures’ in addressing the net-zero emissions
challenge. However, his ambitions need a time dynamic to give transparency to “how
much of what by when” is to be achieved so that likely climate change impacts
can be estimated, and coping strategies developed and actioned.
… “with the main question being not “if or when” but “how”. Morrison
said Australia wants decisions based around “practical, scalable and
commercially viable technologies, not economy destroying taxes”.”
