IOHIVE is a project that focuses on the development of a smart apiculture system that incorporates sensors to monitor the weight, temperature, humidity, pressure, and sound of beehives. Additionally, the project involves the development of a wearable device that beekeepers use to interactively keep notes (journaling) of their empirical observations during beehive inspections at the apiary. This paper presents the architecture of the IOHIVE system/service, which consists of hardware infrastructures, including sensors, microcontrollers, network infrastructure (LoRA, Wifi, GSM/4G), as well as the wearable and its hardware and software. The software infrastructure includes the IOHIVE Service API, database, and the IOHIVE web application and its frontend and backend. The paper also describes the IOHIVE approach to smart beehive monitoring and journaling including the scenarios of the beehive inspection workflow, which includes the minimal and standard inspection scenarios. The IOHIVE system provides bee stakeholders, beekeepers and/or researchers (both mentioned from now on as beekeepers) with real-time monitoring of the beehives, enabling them to make informed decisions in time, resulting in improved bee health and productivity. The wearable device, coupled with the IOHIVE web application, provides a digital beekeepers’ journal that assists people in recording their observations in real-time on the field, enabling them to maintain accurate records of their beehives and bee colonies, and potentially identify trends over time.
