Özet
In this study, a temperature- and humidity-controlled system fed by solar energy has been developed to ensure the optimal living standards within the hives for bees. All energy necessary for the entire system has been obtained from the solar radiation stored in gel accumulators. Temperature and humidity data have been received constantly with wireless sensor networks and analyzed so as to determine whether they are within the ranges of optimum values through the software following their transmission to a central system. By using a thermoelectric system, appropriate heating and cooling processes have been conducted in order to keep the temperature within the hive at the optimum level. Furthermore, the beekeeper has been informed via an automatic message sent to his mobile phone to enable him to take emergency measures in case of any adverse situation related to temperature or humidity. In this way, while the loss of bees has been reduced to minimum with the creation of a suitable ambient for the well-being of the bees, maximum increase has been observed in the honey yield.
