Abstract:
Over the last few years, beekeepers have become aware of the necessity of integrating Information Technology into Apiculture. As a result, Precision Beekeeping emerged, which is an area that applies the said technology to monitor bees and, consequently, the state of the colony. However, the development of these platforms is complex due to the requirement of them adapting to various heterogeneous environments and constantly-updated technologies. Thus, the objective of this paper is to propose and develop a Precision Beekeeping Information System, called myBee, whose infrastructure is flexible, secure, fault tolerant, and efficient in decision-making. A real case study shows that myBee is an efficient information system that supports beekeepers in maintaining their apiaries.
