Additionally, the LoRa module is used to supplement the disadvantage of short-distance data transmission for Bluetooth. The proposed IBS can be roughly divided into four parts: 1) Cloud sever for data record and analysis; 2) End-node for data collection; 3) Repeater for data temporary storage and transmission; 4) Sensing node. The ended node consists of a Raspberry pi b+ and a LoRa module whose main function is supporting a wide range communication, when the request messages have to be transmitted between the end-node and a repeater. For the proposed IBS, the sensing data such as temperature, humidity, and illuminance are recorded and collected from sensing nodes and then are transmitted to a repeater through a Bluetooth module. Furthermore, the end node is forward these collections to a cloud server for data analysis. The user not only uses the APP to view the recorded information but also checks the sensing situation from the website. Based on the proposed IBS design, it would be very suitable for monitoring the actives of bee colony in the future.
