Abstract:

Wild and commercially significant plants are pollinated by honeybees. Currently, apiculture is suffering from the negative consequences of climate change, including extreme weather conditions and increasing temperature averages. Climate change can affect floral sources of honey bees, increase the frequency of parasites and diseases, and interfere with pollination cycles; thus, climate change poses a serious danger to apiculture and consequently beekeeping industry and global food production. Utilising cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) applications are crucial for reducing the negative effects of climate change on honey production and bee populations. AI can play a crucial role in apiculture by helping beekeepers to monitor and manage their hives more efficiently. This study employed a review-based approach to determine how AI can be employed in the beekeeping sector. The results suggests that combination of AI, ML and IoT can be used to evaluate environmental data, such as weather patterns, flowering seasons and satellite images interpretation. That can optimise beekeeping methods by forecasting the ideal periods for hive inspections, honey harvesting, and other tasks. This can increase the overall productivity of the hives and help bee keepers to make better decisions for the sustainability of their apiaries.
