The Project
From data collection to better beekeeping decisions.
One of the most important problems in beekeeping is the varroa mite, which directly affects hive health and colony sustainability. At the same time, hive performance is influenced by several factors such as weight variation, temperature, humidity and changing external weather conditions.
BEEKEEP develops an integrated digital infrastructure that collects this data in real time, combines it with visual monitoring inside the hive and turns it into actionable knowledge for the beekeeper. This supports production monitoring, early anomaly detection and the optimization of feeding, movement and care strategies.
Solution objectives
- Monitor hive weight variation
- Measure critical environmental indicators
- Automatically count bees through image analysis
- Detect events requiring timely intervention
- Support better decisions at apiary level
Core Capabilities
A complete approach to the digital transformation of beekeeping.
Temperature & humidity

How It Works
A simple operational flow focused on automation and timely intervention.
01
Measurement capture
Sensors and cameras continuously capture critical information from each hive.
02
Transfer and storage
Data is collected and organized in an infrastructure that supports historical analysis.
03
Analysis & correlation
Weight, temperature, humidity, wind and image data are combined to extract useful indicators.
04
Alert and action
When significant deviations are detected, the user is informed in order to take targeted action.
Step 01
Collecting measurements from the hive
Weight, temperature and humidity sensors, combined with monitoring cameras, continuously collect critical information from each hive.
- Hive weight
- Temperature & humidity
- Visual activity monitoring
Varroa & Vision
Visual monitoring for a better understanding of colony behavior.
Integrating cameras inside the hive enables image capture and automatic bee counting. This functionality enhances overall activity monitoring and contributes to the early detection of signs associated with varroa pressure.
In this way, BeeKeep goes beyond passive value recording and becomes a more complete observation and decision-support system.
