A monitoring system for carbon dioxide and humidity in honeybee hives.
Engineering Proceedings, 27 (1): 89.

Abstract
Two of the most relevant gasses correlating to honeybee colony health are likely carbon dioxide and humidity. Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) detectors have become the dominant method for measuring atmospheric CO2. In this work, we describe a microcontroller-based system used to collect data from two models of these NDIR sensors that also provide humidity and temperature data. Placement in a frame in the brood box and in the crown board and queen excluder is investigated. With several thousands of hours of data for comparison, we demonstrate both the daily and long-term trends in these important gasses in multiple honeybee colonies.
