MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611062520 A) filed by Geeta University on May 18, 2026, for Smart Beehive Disease Detection System Using Voc Sensors And Ai For Apis Species.
Inventors include Dr. Shiv Kumar Shivandu; Mr. Ronak Duggar; Dr. Vivek Rastogi; Dr. Sonal; Dr. Neha Arora; and Mr. Anurag Vashist.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart beehive disease detection system for honeybee species including Apis cerana indica, Apis dorsata, and Apis florea. The system integrates a volatile organic compound (VOC) sensing module, a data acquisition unit, and an artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis platform for real-time monitoring of hive health. The VOC sensors detect disease-related chemical signatures in hive air caused by bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections. The collected data is processed and transmitted to an AI model trained on species-specific VOC profiles to classify hive status as healthy, at risk, or infected. The system generates real- time alerts via mobile application, SMS, or dashboard interface. The invention enables early, non-invasive, and continuous disease detection, improving colony survival, honey production, and operational efficiency in Indian apiculture systems.
