Abstract

The research aims to determine the impact of innovative digitalization and automation technologies on the fixed capital reproduction processes of apiaries and the quality of beekeeping products. The importance of this study is underscored by the growing need for sustainable and efficient beekeeping practices in the context of global environmental challenges and increasing demand for high-quality bee products. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach incorporating economic analysis methods, statistical data processing, and expert assessments. The study utilized data from 50 apiaries across different regions, implementing various levels of digitalization and automation. The research involved analyzing key performance indicators before and after the implementation of smart technologies, including productivity metrics, product quality parameters, and economic efficiency indicators. The research results revealed significant positive effects of smart technology implementation on production efficiency and beekeeping product quality. Key findings include: a 25-30% increase in labor productivity; 15-20% reduction in production costs; improved bee colony health monitoring through real-time data collection; enhanced product quality control through automated monitoring systems; and more efficient use of fixed capital. The study also identified optimal combinations of digital and automated solutions for different apiary sizes and operational conditions. The practical significance of the research lies in developing comprehensive recommendations for implementing innovative technologies in beekeeping. These recommendations include: step-by-step guidelines for digital transformation of apiaries; cost-benefit analysis frameworks for various automation solutions; best practices for integrating smart technologies with traditional beekeeping methods; and strategies for maximizing return on investment in technological innovations. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of how modern technologies can enhance both the economic efficiency of beekeeping operations and the quality of bee products. The research also addresses environmental sustainability aspects, demonstrating how digital solutions can contribute to more sustainable beekeeping practices while maintaining high product quality standards. The study provides valuable insights for beekeepers, agricultural policymakers, and technology developers in the apiculture sector.
