Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor fusion based bee colony health prediction and adaptive hive management system for intelligent monitoring and management of bee colonies. The system comprises environmental sensing modules, an acoustic sensing module, a controller unit, and a communication interface configured to acquire heterogeneous colony data. The controller executes a sensor fusion engine that integrates multiple sensing modalities to generate a unified representation of colony condition. A colony health prediction engine estimates physiological health parameters, while a behaviour classification engine identifies behavioural states including colony stress, swarming tendency, queen-related abnormalities, and environmental imbalance. An adaptive decision engine generates context-aware hive management recommendations and controls hive actuators. The system further supports remote monitoring and predictive analytics through wired or wireless communication networks. The invention reduces unnecessary hive inspections and supports precision apiculture through intelligent predictive decision-making.
