Real Time Monitoring of Bee-Hive Wellbeing
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/
