Smarthives is such a beekeeper supporting online system that would help all its beekeeper users and the full beekeeper profession to make huge progress while carrying out the everyday beekeeping activities and duties. The fundament of the system is an ERP system customized for beekeepers. Here the beekeeper has the opportunity to handle his/her bees (sites and families), the equipment, expenditures and revenues. The software is operational in itself but for the aim of automatizing the tasks the beekeepers can connect sensors to the system to be developed as well. The required sensors and their number depends on the unique demand of the beekeepers (some might only deploy one weight sensor, some others might equip the hive with movement sensors and some others also use thermometers).
