IoT system for smart beekeeping

Abstract

This article tackles the problem of creating an IoT (Internet of Things) system for smart beekeeping. The goal is to propose an infrastructure that could provide necessary information to prove the organic origin of honey and other honey-based products. The infrastructure includes multiple sensors which are gathering data about the location of the hive, air quality, production process and other essential data. The system also includes streaming collected data to cloud database and blockchain network. This article analyses different solutions and proposes a model of the IoT system for smart beekeeping. The article also shows an implementation of the prototype for the described system.
