Honey Production Dataset

The repository gathers comprehensive data from the beekeeping process, that is, information related to the functioning and condition of a beehive. It is intended for applications in:

Edge artificial intelligence (local devices)

Internet of Things (IoT)

Bio-inspired models (inspired by bee behavior)

Dataset Type

Type: Multivariate time series

Granularity: Daily records (consecutive dates)

Domain: Beekeeping + IoT + environmental monitoring

Variables (Columns)

1. Date

Type: Temporal (date)

Purpose: To order the series and analyze changes over time

2. Environmental Temperature (°C)

External (ambient) temperature

Influences:

Bee activity

Internal hive regulation

3. Relative Humidity (%)

External environmental humidity

Impacts:

Honey production

Flight conditions

4. Hive Temperature (°C)

Internal hive temperature

Critical variable:

Indicator of colony health

Natural thermal regulation by bees (~30–35°C ideal)

5. Hive Humidity (%)

Humidity inside the hive

Related to:

Honey preservation

Brood development

6. Wind Speed (km/h)

Wind speed

Affects:

Bee activity (leaving the hive)

Nectar collection

7. Honey Weight (kg)

Amount of honey produced

Direct production variable

8. Total Weight (Hive + Bees) (kg)

Total system weight

Includes:

Hive

Bees

Honey

Allows inference of:

Colony growth

Accumulated production

9. Extract Honey (boolean)

Type: Categorical variable (TRUE/FALSE)

Indicates:

Whether it is time to extract honey

Key for:

Supervised classification problems
