The HONEYCLOUD project is a research project of the University of Würzburg in the field of bioeconomics. Within the scope of technolog y transfer, tools and methods that were originally developed for aerospace applications are now to be made available for precision agriculture. In particular, the field of precision beekeeping was selected for this purpose. An IT infrastructure to support the honeybees and the work of beekeeping is to be developed. The aim is to ensure that the electronics remain unobtrusive and that the beehive does not beco - me a switch cabinet. This results in an experimental test setup that can be used in the field of teaching Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems. In this way, hardware and software components are created in the project and used directly in teaching.
