AI in Beekeeping and Apiculture Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Which parasite is a major target of AI-based hive monitoring?
   • Varroa mite
   • Aphid
   • Locust
   • Tsetse fly
2. What hive condition did a cited acoustic-monitoring study examine using recorded hive sounds?
   • The exact honey yield of each flower visited
   • Queenless versus queenright hive status
   • The species of every plant within a field
   • The hive paint color under different weather
3. Which object-detection architecture did the IntelliBeeHive study use for entrance-camera monitoring?
   • YOLOv3
   • Faster R-CNN
   • YOLOv7-tiny
   • U-Net
4. Which components of the Deep Edge IoT study’s queenless-hive pipeline were implemented on Arduino Zero?
   • The entire training dataset and all model training
   • Cloud storage and every audio recording
   • A camera-based Varroa detector and pollen counter
   • Feature extraction and inference with a pre-trained model
5. What can a sudden hive-weight drop indicate?
   • A swarm departure or loss of stores, among other possible causes that require investigation
   • A confirmed queen loss with no other possible explanation
   • A guaranteed Varroa infestation
   • A precise count of bees that left the colony
6. According to FAO, about what share of global food-crop types depend at least partly on pollinators?
   • About 35 percent of crop types depend exclusively on honeybees
   • About 75 percent; the figure covers animal pollinators, not honeybees alone
   • About 100 percent of all food production is provided by bees
   • About 10 percent of crop types depend on every pollinator group
7. Which non-acoustic measurements can a smart-hive sensor system track?
   • Only the color of the hive paint
   • Satellite altitude and wind direction
   • Temperature, humidity, and colony weight
   • The beekeeper's phone battery and screen brightness
8. What foraging-related activity can computer vision monitor at a hive entrance?
   • The chemical composition of nectar inside every flower
   • The age of bees before they leave the hive
   • The amount of honey in every cell of the comb
   • Pollen-gathering activity by bees
