Abstract :
This research develops a honeybee behavior monitoring system. The proposed system monitors honeybees´ daily activities of getting in and coming out their beehive. It provides a new way to observe honeybee behavior and replace the methods of human observation. Specifically, it automatically records environmental parameters near and in the beehive. The information collected by the system is used for statistical analysis, and the analyzed results help researchers have a better understanding of the relationship between the environmental factors and honeybees´ activities of getting in and coming out of their beehive. The research results show that the proposed system is beneficial to future research projects involving large scale monitoring of bee colony activities.
