Beehiveior - Monitoring and Control System for Beekeeping Production
Apiculture; Automation and Control; Sensors
Bees are very important animals to the global ecosystem, mainly for their
active role in pollination process of many plants on the planet. Beekeeping, currently
defined as the rational creation of bees, is a global economic activity that annually
moves a billionaire market. The efficient development of beekeeping involves
numerous challenges in many aspects, ranging from daily activities to keep the apiary
until monitor the behavior of bees and the apiary environment. The UEPA-EAJ (an
unit for explore bee products at Jundiaí’s agricultural school) is an important center
for activities, studies and research on beekeeping in Brazil-RN. This work proposes
the development of a computational tool, composed by automation and control
devices, with the goal to give a better basis for the studies and researches carried out
by UEPA-EAJ, as well to improve the daily activities to maintain the apiary of this
unit.
