Apiculture has been a method for harvesting honey domestically using the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey and beeswax. Basically bees, are very sensitive to environmental stressors like pollution, are considered as unique environmental indicators and the research on bees can give important statistical information about the condition of natural elements like soil, air and water. In recent years, the population of the honey bees in the bee hive have declined due to the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), climatic condition inside the hive and pollution may be one of the factors. In regions having semi-arid climatic conditions, the bees undergo a mechanism known as thermoregulation naturally inside their hives so that they can optimize the temperature for proliferation. However, when bees fail in thermoregulation, all bees abscond the hive in a process known as colony absconding. This colony absconding process is due to thermal stress undergone by bees.Regarding colony absconding of bee hive, we propose a network system to monitor the hives proactively using a wireless sensor which delects the temperature change due to swarming of bees inside the beehive. Bee hive temperature is the main factor which is used for bee activity monitoring, hence we have developed a mechanism for detecting the temperature change inside the hive (microclimate). In this patent we propose a Beehive, which is a real time hardware and software solution for monitoring and regulating the temperature and humidity of the honey bee hive using internel-of-things. It also includes counting number of bees using camera and also monitoring the hive for any diseases. So using a smart bee hive as a tool for apiculture would help to increase and protect current bee population and also drastically increase the production of honey and its byproducts. Which indirectly increases the production of crops.
