WaggleNet: A LoRa and MQTT-Based Monitoring System for Internal and External Beehive Conditions

WaggleNet is a dual-scope beehive monitoring system that captures internal hive conditions and external environmental parameters using a low-cost LoRa-MQTT architecture. Modular worker nodes costing approximately USD 15 use temperature, humidity, light, and GPS sensors inside and around hives. A master node acts as a LoRa-MQTT gateway and forwards observations to a cloud server and mobile application. Field experiments reported 100% packet delivery over 110 meters in line-of-sight conditions and successful communication over 95 meters with obstructions, including nodes inside wooden hives. The system maintained end-to-end latency below five seconds and operated continuously for two months, supporting contextual anomaly detection for resource-constrained precision beekeeping deployments.
