Beekeepers face three main problems, which are known as swarming, absconding and Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Swarming is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the months of April, May, and June, during which a new queen bee is born, causing tensions that lead to half of the colony fleeing the hive permanently with the old queen. On the other hand, absconding and CCD are phenomena in which the honeybees are disturbed by external factors sometimes mysterious that cause them to leave their hive abruptly with no prior signs.

These issues have tremendous consequences on the production of honey and overhead costs, with reported losses internationally at 27 million hives yearly. HiveMate offers an automatic solution for professionals who usually spend around six hours a week in the field monitoring their beehives one by one. Using our mobile application, the beekeeper gets notified of any suspicious activity inside the hive. This notification would allow the beekeeper to take an action effectively, only when needed, avoiding the waste of time and costs resulting from manual monitoring. As a team of four mechanical engineers formed by Yves Georgy Daoud, Ramzi
