AdEMNEA · NORHED II
Know how every hive is doing, without opening it
Sensors in the hive report temperature, humidity, weight and CO₂ around the clock. The platform checks each reading, raises an alert when something looks wrong, and keeps the records researchers and beekeepers need.

What the platform does
From the sensor in the hive to the person who needs to act.
Live hive monitoring
Readings from every hive as they arrive, with charts over hours, days and weeks, plus photos, audio and video from the apiary.
Condition alerts
Each reading is checked on arrival. Impossible values, stuck sensors and unusual changes open an incident and notify the right people.
Device health
Battery, signal, storage and connectivity for every unit in the field, so a failing device is found before its data is missed.
Apiary and hive records
Apiaries, hives, inspections and harvests in one register, with a map of where each hive stands.
Reports
Colony health, honey production and sensor trends, ready for research and for planning the season.
For farmers, on their phone
Farmers see their own hives and receive alerts in the mobile app, by push, with email and SMS for the support team.

About AdEMNEA
AdEMNEA is a research project funded by Norad under the NORHED II programme and hosted at Makerere University. This platform is its beehive monitoring system: it collects data from instrumented hives and turns it into something a beekeeper, an extension officer or a researcher can act on.
