**5. Conclusions**

In summary, the interest of this work can be differentiated according to the target, hobbyist beekeepers or professional beekeepers.

For the hobbyist beekeeper, process models can underpin a gamification paradigm and provide guidance for beginners. The gamification paradigm is important for this user profile.

For the professional beekeeper (with around 1000 beehives), the benefit is the optimized managemen<sup>t</sup> of his livestock and an improvement in livestock health. In our opinion, he can expect an increase in the profitability of his bee farm in the order of 20%. The contribution of technology comes down to reducing synthetic inputs and preserving the original purity of bee products.

The advantage of the system is to provide the beekeeper with a holistic view of his farm and a precise look at each of the hives that make it up. Thus, he saves precious time for his operational organization and is supported in his decision-making. As a breeder, he knows which strains he should favor to renew his livestock. Finally, he can finely adapt the level of health treatments to the strengthen the constitution of each colony. The very precise adjustment of this level is a condition for avoiding colony losses, for minimizing the amount of artificial feeding, and for favoring the treatments accepted under organic labels.
