APIZ project created its first telemetry-based hive model
August 4, 2022 - The APIZ project has created its first telemetry-enabled hive model designed to improve the productivity and efficiency of beehives and industrial apiaries.
Hive telemetry is a system that allows keeping tracking of all the data related to bee lifecycle and activity without examining every frame since it stressful for everyone involved - bees and keeper as well. The telemetry system receives the entire data on bees' health and productivity, the environmental impact, and feedback on any particular modifications.
For example, changes in a hive weight could indicate one of the following problems:
- the beginning or the end of the nectar harvesting season
- the honey extensions are full
- whether you need to start feeding bees with syrup to get them through to the spring,
- if swarming or robbing occurs
- or decreased activity in colony strength and productivity.
Also, it is very important to keep a certain temperature and humidity in a hive for the strong brood and appropriate adult bees' behavioral patterns.
Healthy bee colonies maintain a stable environment in the hive. Monitoring and
continuous analysis of any changes will help not only increase the productivity of bee colonies but also their viability, due to the creation of the most comfortable living conditions.
The APIZ team began researching hive telemetry a few months ago and has already been able to transform their knowledge into custom devices. At the present moment, the team has created a device for measuring such features as weight, temperature, humidity, and sound, with the option to send the collected data to a remote server for further processing and analysis.
We developed our first telemetry model based on an ordinary wooden beehive, under which we placed our device. The first scale design is presented as a stand with weight sensors and all the necessary electronics installed between the hive body and the bottom.
Now, these test devices are collecting and sending data for processing and analysis. Our long-term goal is to modify and improve hive telemetry devices gradually to get the most accurate results and data on the state of bee colonies, preventing any problems inside the hives.
Still, there is a lot of work to do, but a start has already been made. Follow our updates to keep abreast of all events and future developments.
Bee with APIZ!APIZ project has a goal to tokenize a living organism, mainly a bee, and it is based on the offline business from the apicultural industry. APIZ is the first project that creates a bridge between the agricultural domain and the blockchain technology that further will offer an unprecedented possibility for the efficient development of both industries.
