Honey Bee (APIS Mellifera) Colony Monitoring Methods With A Potential Application Of The Machine Intelligence Methods

Abstract

This article brings an overview of the bee monitoring methods and is divided into two parts. The first part, which covers the general monitoring methods, describes the methods based on the sensor fusion data and acoustic measurements and the second part focuses on computer vision methods based applications for the Varroa Destructor mite detection. The conclusion drafts possible extension of those methods with the use of the deep learning methods and also the future direction of the author’s research.
