BeeNet: An End-To-End Deep Network For Bee Surveillance

Abstract Computer vision-based image classification plays a vital role in developing surveillance tools for measuring the biological behavior Computer classification plays a vital in developing surveillance tools for measuring the biological behavior of bees andvision-based their diseaseimage detection. Native bees often facerole numerous environmental threats, ranging from invasive bees to numerous of bees and their disease detection. Nativethe bees often face numerous environmental threats, ranging from invasive numerous parasitic diseases, which affect not only existing ecosystem but also the booming honey and wax industries.bees to Numerous MLparasitic diseases, models which affect notpotential only the in existing ecosystem but the booming and wax industries. MLbased, pre-trained showed bee classification and also monitoring tasks, honey but heavily curated data-setNumerous and closed-set based, pre-trained models showed potential in bee classification and monitoring tasks, but heavily curated data-set and closed-set models hinder their applicability in-field monitoring tasks. In this paper, we proposed a deep learning model to obtain improved modelsofhinder applicabilityofin-field.

Relevancy to Gratheon

This paper is relevant to Gratheon because it informs entrance and behavior analytics in the Gratheon web app, camera-based hive-scanner and computer-vision models, dataset design, benchmarking, and model validation workflows. Its methods and findings can be translated into product requirements for reliable field deployments: what should be sensed, how signals should be interpreted, and which uncertainty or validation limits need to be surfaced to beekeepers. For Gratheon, the work is most useful as an evidence-backed design reference for connecting local hive observations with actionable recommendations in the web app while keeping hardware practical for remote apiaries.
