In the past years Smart Beekeeping systems (SBS) have been developed and implemented successfully, most of them are still on an experimental level, covering a wide scope of parameters relevant to beekeepers, implementing IoT protocols of data transfer for remote monitoring of the beehives. As of now, little attention has been paid to the fieldwork situation of the beekeeper – a perspective that inspired the authors to prototype DigiBee as a demand-driven SBS. Besides implementing standard beehive monitoring devices and corresponding user front-end software, the main focus of DigiBee lies in the use of Augmented Reality during fieldwork. This allows proper recording of beehive conditions and documentation which helps the beekeeper in inspection and decision making as well as satisfying legal aspects concerning German food legislation. Thus, a user-friendly, hands-free system has been developed that efficiently supports the beekeeper in performing field monitoring of their beehives.
