TUL students’ project, Intelligent Hives, is the 3rd runner-up in the Cisco Global Problem Solver 2020. More than 520 teams from universities from all over the world, who during their studies set up innovative startups with a positive impact on the environment, were registered for the competition.

For the project, the students received a prize of 10 000 USD, which they are planning to spend on further development of the system and monitoring the health of the bee colonies.

- Development of artificial intelligence algorithms should allow us to detect emergencies inside beehives more effectively, Sebastian Górecki explains, who came with the idea for the system and a graduate with a first-cycle degree in Telecommunication and Computer Science (IFE), currently a postgraduate student of Informatyka (Computer Science). - One of the first tests of the system and monitoring equipment for bee colonies was performed on the roof of the Faculty of Electrical, Electronic, Computer and Control Engineering. Currently, Intelligent Hives are being developed together with students of electronics: Konrad Koperek, Adam Wawrzyńczak, and Arkadiusz Maczkowski from the EEIA Faculty of Lodz University of Technology.

End-to-End is an original solution devised by the students of TUL. It consists of custom-designed and bee-friendly devices for monitoring hives, and a mobile and internet application for apiary management. The round-the-clock monitoring of the hive displays parameters such as: temperature, humidity, weight, sound frequency, location, and many more. Thus, the need for frequent personal inspections by the beekeeper is eliminated.

- Our application software facilitates the disease detection, swarming, hive inspections, task planning as well as keeping records of bee colonies' diseases. It is an economical and hassle-free solution that is easy to implement in any apiary in the world that allows the beekeeper to avoid additional costs or losses thanks to detecting beehive emergencies bee conditions - Sebastian Górecki further explains.
