For successful implementation of the Precision Apiculture (Precision Beekeeping)
approach, immense amount of bee colony data collection and processing using various hardware
and software solutions is needed. This paper presents standalone wireless hardware system for
bee colony main parameters monitoring (temperature, weight and sound). Monitoring system is
based on Raspberry Pi 3 computer with connected sensors. Power supply is granted by the solar
panel for reliable operation in places without constant source for power. For convenient data
management cloud based data warehouse (DW) is proposed and developed for ease data storage
and analysis. Proposed data warehouse is scalable and extendable and can be used for variety of
other ready hardware solutions, using variety of data-in/data-out interfaces. The core of the data
warehouse is designed to provide data processing flexibility and versatility, whereas data flow
within the core is organized between data vaults in a controllable and reliable way. Our paper
presents an approach for linking together hardware for bee colony real-time monitoring with
cloud software for data processing and visualisation. Integrating specific algorithms and models
to the system will help the beekeepers to remotely identify different states of their colonies, like
swarming, brood rearing, death of the colony etc. and inform the beekeepers to make appropriate
decisions/actions. This research work is carried out within the SAMS project, which is funded by
the European Union within the H2020-ICT-39-2016-2017 call. To find out more visit the project
