Tunisian beekeeper Elias Chebbi checks his hives after a signal came to his cell phone from a new camera notifying him of temperature, humidity or other changes in the hives.
He says technology helps him meet the growing challenges of honey bees that are losing pastures and are affected by weather problems.
“In our area, spring comes early and summer is the time of honey harvest.
“But due to the lack of pastures we have to move the hives to areas where there are more flowers and vegetation, such as the northwest.”
“The information we get from the electronic tool makes us choose the hives that produce the strongest queens, and consequently the production to be better.”
Growers say there is a lot of hive loss during the winter in Tunisia and information on weather or bee weather could be a step in the right direction.
Local science official Mauer Xhemali said bees are important but threatened in Tunisia.
“The information gathered by the apparatus is analyzed and leads to a detailed assessment of the condition of the queens.”
“If we can choose the best queens, they will be more resistant to disease and production will be higher,” he added.
