Beehive sensors offer hope in saving honeybee colonies

A computer science team has developed a sensor-based technology that could revolutionize commercial beekeeping by reducing colony losses and lowering labor costs. The technology uses low-cost heat sensors and forecasting models to predict when hive temperatures may reach dangerous levels. The system provides remote beekeepers with early warnings, allowing them to take preventive action before their colonies collapse during extreme hot or cold we…

Beehive Sensors: A Promising Solution for Saving Honeybee Populations

In a groundbreaking development for the field of apiculture, researchers from the University of California, Riverside (UCR), have made significant advancements in beekeeping technology with the creation of a sensor-based system known as the Electronic Bee-Veterinarian (EBV). This innovative technology holds the potential to drastically change the way professional beekeepers manage their colonies, addressing the pressing concerns of colony loss a…
