Abstract

In stingless beekeeping, monitoring the temperature and humidity in the beehive is crucial to increase the honey yield and ensure the survival of the bee colony. However, the conventional method of checking the beehive is laborious and time-consuming. This paper proposes an IoT-based real-time remote monitoring system that enables the beekeeper to monitor the temperature and humidity in the beehive using their smartphone from anywhere and at any time. The system uses low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technology, long-range (LoRa), to transmit the data from the sensor node at the beehive to the cloud via a LoRa gateway. The connectivity test shows that the gateway can receive the sensor data at a maximum of 205 m from the node with a line-of-sight connection. However, the LoRa signal is highly affected by the surrounding obstruction. A high number of obstructions caused the LoRa signal to degrade drastically, hence does not reach the gateway. Therefore, the current prototype works well in the environment with fewer obstructions, and the distance between the node and the gateway is less than 205 m.
