The SAMS-system
At the University of Kassel, the team of the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering developed a bee monitoring system based on a RaspberryPi Zero W. Weight, temperature and humidity data as well as frequency spectra of the sounds in the bee colony can be recorded at user-defined measurement intervals. Pictures of the sensorcase and the SAMS PCB components can be found in the full text available here:

The whole step by step installation instruction is available as a download File:D3.5 Manual on HIVE Construction and Operation UNIKAS final.pdf
Further, the installation process is also shown in this video:
