Beekeeping businesses, which are very important in food and the country's economy, have to struggle

with some problems. The bee-eaters (Merops apiaster L.), which can destroy bee colonies they attack,

are among the most important of these problems. It is a necessity for businesses to overcome this

problem without harming the environment, especially bee-eaters. This study proposes an embedded

system developed to protect bee colonies from bee-eaters. In the memory of the proposed system, 10

different sound recordings will make bee-eaters move away from the combs. New sound files can be

easily included in the system. When the system is switched on, the record chosen randomly among these

sound records is played at a random time. Therefore, bee-eaters are afraid and leave the area. By making

random time and sound determinations in the system, it is aimed to prevent the birds from getting used

to the system. The aim is to prevent the birds from adapting to the system by randomly selecting time

and sound in the system. The proposed system is powered by a 12 volt battery and the continuity of this

energy source is ensured with the support of solar panels.
