dc.description.abstractThe designs for a remote managed honey level and temperature control system for a beehive are presented in this thesis. These designs can be useful in beekeeping, as apiarists can have better understanding of environmental factors and stresses affecting the honeybee population. For monitoring honey level in the hive boxes, interdigitated capacitor sensors fabricated up on the frames in the hive box are presented. Simulations and experimental testing of prototypes are presented for measuring the level of honey on top of the frames. For the temperature control in the hive, various heater designs with performance simulations are presented to heat the brood in the hive to 35 ℃ regularly, and further increase temperature to kill Varro mites. This system will measure the temperature in each region of the frame board. If any mite is detected, the temperature will be increased on that region to kill the mite, and this can protect other honey regions from destroying and save energy. The prototype interdigitated capacitor sensors were built and experimentally tested in the lab to measure the level of water on the frames. They showed that the capacitance would increase with the level of water on top of the sensor from 1 mm to 10 mm. Electronics were constructed to record the data from the interdigitated capacitor sensors and record the data on an SD card.
