Electronic beehive monitoring – applications to research
Abstract
Electronic bee hive monitoring has evolved in recent years as a result of advances in technology but also as it became apparent that the environmental crisis facing bees called for more data if the problem is to be understood and tackled. Electronic monitoring offers economical and nonintrusive data collection. In this paper it is shown how such data can be used to elucidate the effects that different endogenous and exogenous factors have on honey bee colonies.
Keywords: electronic beehive monitoring, hive weight, flight activity, fanning activity, brood temperature
