Abstract: PLAZA, JAYSON MARK C. and POTENTE, ROBERT JESS M. Design and Development of an Artificial Honeybees Feeder. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. December, 2016. Adviser: Engr. Bienvenido C. Sarmiento, Jr. A study was conducted to develop a microcontroller-based automatic honeybee feeder. Specifically, the study aimed to (1) design and develop a microcontroller circuit for pumping , lighting, and monitoring system; (2) design and fabricate the automatic- feeder; (3) develop a PIC program that will control the system; (4) test and evaluate the performance of the system through pilot evaluation; and (5) conduct a cost computation of the machine. The design project was composed of PIC6F877A which served as the microcontroller unit, the light sensor module for the light sensing and automatic light switching, pH sensors for acidity and basicity monitoring, moisture sensor to monitor the moisture of sponge, DC Pump to transfer the solution from container to the sponge, LCD screen for displaying the pH value and pH volts. An LED lamp was used for feeding at night and morning. The microcontroller was responsible for the operation of the system of the honeybees feeder which depended on the data sent by the sensors. The project was tested and evaluated at NCRDEC at Cavite State University Indang, Cavite to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of lamp, and the ability of feeder to monitor the pH level and to feed the honeybees. Based on the results of the evaluation, the feeding time of bees could be lengthened by adding a light source for honeybees. A bright and war light could help the bees in navigating a new source of food. Using a bulb with a warm and bright light make bees active at night. The total cost of the design project was P19,850.00.
