Weight, temperature and humidity sensor data of honey bee colonies in Germany, 2019-2022.

ABSTRACT: Humans have kept honeybees as livestock to harvest honey, wax and other products for thousands of years and still continue doing so. Today however, beekeepers in many parts of the world report unprecedented high numbers of colony losses. Sensor data from honey bee colonies can contribute to new insights about development and health factors for honey bee colonies. The data can be incorporated in smart decision support systems and warning tools for beekeepers. In this paper, we present sensor data from 78 honey bee colonies in Germany collected as part of a citizen science project. Each honey bee hive was equipped with five temperature sensors within the hive, one temperature sensor for outside measurements, a combined sensor for temperature, ambient air pressure and humidity, and a scale to
