In this paper we discuss the offered autonomous beekeeping system’ prototype, which applies Internet of Things (IoT) and systems automation approach known as the Arrowhead framework. The proposed solution is based on the services provided by the Event Handler system. The proposed smart services broker applies a visual data flow programming approach. A Node-RED is used to prove viability and advantages of offered architecture implemented in a local automation cloud of autonomous beekeeping System of Systems. The autonomous beekeeping system’ prototype provides useful data on beehive and bee apiary status (internal and ambient temperature, humidity, weight of the hives, etc.) to the users, so they can evaluate the hive status and take further action. Therefore, the use of autonomous beekeeping system provides opportunity to increase bee productivity and to save cost of maintenance of beekeeping.
