Sensor-Driven Motorized Solution for Beehive Entrance Control

This research introduces a new approach for the development of a stepper motor-operated door circuitry designed for controlling the access in a beehive. This solution allows users to manually or automatically adjust the position of the entrance door based on a decision-making algorithm using specialized sensors (ultrasonic, sound intensity, and temperature). Additionally, an atmospheric pressure sensor is used to conditionate the functioning. This integrated approach enables precise environmental monitoring, empowering beekeepers to take informed decisions for optimizing hive conditions. This solution aims to optimize beekeeping practices by providing a customizable and sensor-driven approach to hive entrance regulation, ultimately promoting efficient hive maintenance and colony well-being.
