Specification

Description:The invention is illustrated with the help of the accompanying drawing
fig 1 and 2 With reference to fig.1, the present invention illustrates that Beehive Honey Tracker with Monitoring System. According to one embodiment of the present invention , as shown in figure 1, in the initial phase, we will deploy IoT sensors within each bee hive box across the large agricultural area. These sensors will include load cells(100) for weight measurement, temperature and humidity sensors(200) for environmental monitoring, and connectivity modules for data transmission. According to another embodiment of the present invention , as shown in figure 1, the deployed sensors will continuously collect data related to hive weight(100), bee count(500), temperature(200), humidity(200), and other relevant parameters. This data will be transmitted to a central data hub via wireless communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi or LoRa, ensuring real-time data accessibility. According to another embodiment of the present invention , as shown in figure 1, at the central data hub, collected information will undergo thorough processing. Weight data will be calibrated and adjusted for factors like hive material variations and environmental conditions. This step ensures accurate and reliable measurements. According to another mbodiment of the present invention , as shown in figure 1, processed data will then be sent to a cloud-based platform(600), where it can be stored, analyzed, and accessed remotely by beekeepers and farmers
through a secure web interface or mobile application. According to another embodiment of the present invention , as shown
in figure 1, the system will provide user-friendly dashboards and graphs for visualizing the collected data. According to another embodiment of the present invention , as shown in figure 1, beekeepers can monitor the hive weights over time and receive alerts for abnormal hive conditions, enabling them to take timely action. According to another embodiment of the present invention , as shown in figure 1, to enhance the system's capabilities, machine learning algorithms is employed to predict honey yields based on historical data, weather conditions, and other relevant factors. This predictive analysis can help optimize hive management. , C , Claims:1. A beehive honey tracker with monitoring system comprising:
a load cell(100);
a temperature sensor(200);
a controller(300);
a microphone sensor(400) and
an IR sensor(500);
wherein the load cell(100) for precise and accurate measurement of the beehive's weight; wherein the temperature sensor(200) integrated into the beehive structure to monitor and regulate the internal temperature;
wherein the microphone sensor(400) for recording and analyzing the buzzing and sound patterns within the beehive; wherein the IR sensor(500) detects, monitors the hive entrance activity, assess the traffic flow of bees in and out of the beehive;wherein the controller(300) for establish connections with multiple sensors, including an infrared (IR) sensor(500), temperature sensor(200), microphone sensor(400), and
load cell(100), within the beehive environment;
2. The Beehive honey tracker as claimed 1 further comprising a data analysis and visualization module for a comprehensive assessment of the collected data, enabling beekeepers to make informed decisions for hive management and honey production optimization.
3. The Beehive honey tracker as claimed 1, wherein the IR sensor module(500) integrated into the beehive entrance, configured to detect and analyze infrared radiation patterns associated with bee movements in and out of the hive.
4. The Beehive honey tracker as claimed 3, wherein the data processing unit in communication with the IR sensor module(500), equipped with algorithms to interpret the IR signals and determine the count of bees entering and exiting the beehive.
5. The Beehive honey tracker as claimed 3, wherein the multiple entry of bees are connected to the microcontroller(300) with Parallel in Serial out shift register which allows to reduce usage of GPIO pins.
6. The Beehive honey tracker as claimed 3, wherein the IR sensor(500) acts as an obstacle detector, which detects the bee moving in and out of the bee hive box.
