Abstrakt
In today's realities, beekeeping encounters a number of different challenges, including
the lack of suitable areas, urbanisation, intensive farming methods etc. In order to meet the current
needs, modern beekeeping uses various information technology solutions that support beekeepers
in their activities. Among such solutions, the use of geographic information systems and spatial
data is relevant. At the time of writing this work, its authors are developing software solution for
beekeepers based on Geographic Information System (GIS) and an interactive map within the
scientific project named Hiveopolis. To further develop this solution, it is necessary to investigate
the current situation related to issues in modern beekeeping and the solutions already available.
In this study, a detailed review of solutions was carried out, which, according to the authors, are
the most similar in subject matter to their developed solution. During the review, the authors
studied the actual problems of beekeeping solved with the help of the considered solutions, and
also provided possible ways to improve existing solutions, presenting their developed system. As
a result, the study confirmed the relevance of this direction, and also made it possible to identify
challenges for beekeeping and possible improvements to existing solutions.
