Weight sensing of beehives with IoT connectivity

Abstract

This paper focuses on designing a device that can measure some beehive parameters, that can inform users about the conditions in a beehive. These parameters are beehive weight, internal and ambient temperature, internal and ambient humidity, and air pressure. The device allows sending the measured data wirelessly through the GSM network and interpreting the results in appropriate way. Low power consumption is desirable due to working without the reach of the distribution network.
