Approximation of functions determining colony activity using neural networks

Bees as a primary pollinator are an indispensable contribution to global agriculture and food production. However, their numbers have been constantly declining in recent times, primarily due to climate change, parasites or the effect of pesticide use. Understanding their behavior and reliably determine their activity and health could significantly prevent or slow down their decline. That is why this work deals with the development of a device for the acquisition of useful data from beehives, which could be used to determine the activity and health of the bees. Furthermore, this work deals with analysis of the accumulated data using machine learning methods with an emphasis on determining the activity and health of the bees
