The end goal is to introduce beekeepers to the benefits of available digital technologies and offer constructive and practical input, which can help them make better decisions, add higher value, and improve their livelihoods. Innovative technologies for beekeeping have been grouped into three categories: 1) precision beekeeping, 2) record-keeping, traceability and market access, 3) information exchange and capacity development. Whether they are simple scales or high-end blockchain solutions, their suitability is dependent upon the beekeepers’ needs, technological skills and literacy, but also their ability to invest.
