مستخلص المنشور:
Beekeeping plays an important role in increasing and diversifying the incomes of many rural communities in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, despite the region’s relatively good rainfall, which result in better forage conditions, bees and beekeepers are greatly affected by seasonal shortages of bee forage. Because of these shortages, beekeepers must continually move their colonies in search of better forage. The aim of this paper is to determine the actual bee forage areas with specific characters like population density, ecological distribution, flowering phenology based on colour satellite image segmentation using K-mean clustering. K-mean segment region satellite images into five segments, following that we search in a sample of acacia trees against this image clusters to specify the best region for better forage.
