A user-centred design approach towards developing an intelligent living environment for honeybees

Abstract

Honeybees are vital to both agriculture and ecology, primarily through their major role as pollinators. However, they have been in major decline over recent years due to a variety of factors. In this paper, we discuss a user-centred (bee-centred) design approach to creating an intelligent living environment to promote the well-being of honeybees, in an effort to stop their decline.
