Abstract. One of the solutions to ensure the health of honey bees, especially in remote apiaries, is the use of electronic remote wireless monitoring systems. With the help of these devices, beekeepers can timely identify problems in such apiaries without leaving home. The purpose of these studies was to review and analyze existing commercial and research electronic devices for remote monitoring of bee colonies. For this purpose, data from information databases NCBI, eLibrary, FIPS and the Internet were used for the last 10 years (2014-2024). Search words included: remote monitoring, bee colonies, weight, productivity, sound, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, atmospheric pressure, bee diseases, artificial intelligence. The material of articles and information on Internet sites were taken into account if the architecture of the electronic device system allowed for wireless remote monitoring of bee colonies. According to the results of the work, it was revealed that all the studied physical quantities are important in the vital activity of bees, and in order to fully assess any deviations in insect health, it is necessary to read these indicators in a complex using wireless multisensory networks. These systems should be inexpensive, energy efficient, and independent of external power sources and subscription fees for transmitting data to the beekeeper, and the use of artificial intelligence in their work is necessary to reduce manual labor during data processing. As a result of the review of available sources of information for monitoring systems that meet all the above criteria, no monitoring systems have been identified, but there are research and commercial projects close to this concept.
Keywords: bee colonies, remote monitoring, electronic devices, weight, productivity, sound, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, atmospheric pressure, bee diseases, artificial intelligence.
