The automatic and connected scales measuring the weight of the hives during the honeydew are used by beekeepers, and by research and development actors, in order to collect real-time information on the state of the honeydew. This information is shared among beekeepers or service providers and scale manufacturers, and not capitalized. The work carried out during the Casdar MIELLEES project (2017- 2020) showed that it is possible to bring together a chain of competent and multidisciplinary actors to develop tools and better use and enhance digital data from the connected scales of beekeepers. A computer system called SI MIELLEES was created. It collects, structures, and prepares time series for analysis using computerized routines developed specifically. Prototypes of service applications were designed and tested to enhance the value of the collected data.
