Demonstration of the practical applicability of some beekeeping applications

Abstract

The aim of the work is to demonstrate the importance and potential of digitalisation in beekeeping. Two applications are presented, the Züminapló and ApiManager. Once downloaded, the menu on the left side allows to record basic data and experiences during beekeeping. In the case of Züminapló, the following options and data can be recorded: premises, hives, weighing, feeding, honey extraction, migrations, treatments.  For ApiManager, we can add the home page, the beekeeper, hives, inspections, tasks, bee food, treatments, stores. The apps work properly and provide quick tracking during beekeeping. We believe that their promotion is important because they allow for more accurate data collection, but they are not yet widespread in Hungary due to the higher average age of beekeepers.
