Integration of audio surveillance on a queen bee rearing and breeding management system

Abstract

This work proposes the development of a system that will automatically evaluate quality honey bee queen species for breeding based on bee behavior. The queen breeding stages are set as the evaluation guidelines for queen bee and drone sources; the guidelines are then quantified using mathematical formulae. The work will also use sound sensors and database technology to complement JSP language and eclipse programming for system development. System functions will be designed based on actual operational needs, including establishing basic user information, the input of bee information, a blood relations structure, premium combinations and real-time monitoring. The system will integrate databases and real-time sound monitoring information to offer supervision of the queen breeding process in every bee breeding box. Using this system, honey bee queen breeding processes may be shortened by almost one month, which will increase the productivity of queen bee breeding.
