Abstract
Apiculture has been a method for harvesting honey and helping crop proliferation, nonetheless late climate changes have affected bee population. Having an automated hive as a tool for beekeepers would help to increase and protect current bee population guaranteeing crop proliferation needed for human consumption. In this paper, we propose an electronic beehive that recollect honey automatically, regulate the temperature of the inner hive and distribute food for bees. Preliminary results showed the control and automation of the proposed system as well as the prototype implementation, concluding that the automated beehive might be able to improve bee proliferation and crop betterment in an automated way. © 2017 IEEE.
