<p align="justify">The research was aimed to design and implement instrumentation system in beehive called MOTIVE, to cultivate stingless bee Tetragonula laeviceps. This implementation objective was to optimize propolis production based on data from instrumentation system towards data-based precision farming. Programming languages that used as interface to communicate with Arduino and Raspberry Pi are Arduino and Python. Parameters that measured from sensors installed in MOTIVE hive were temperature, humidity, colony mass in MOTIVE and also bee activity which updated every 15 and 30 minutes. Research variations are light intensity in hive that being implemented in bamboo hive, wood MOTIVE hive, and acrylic MOTIVE hive. Propolis that has produced was harvested to analyze its flavonoid content based on quercetin equivalent (QE) standard. The data shown range of propolis productivity in MOTIVE hive about 2-2.4 gram/hive/week. The highest flavonoid content obtained from propolis that harvested in wood MOTIVE hive as many as 14.3 mg QE/gram. Instrumentation system that implemented in MOTIVE hive was proven to record the data simultaneously without effect to bee colony. Based on measured parameter, resin conversion to propolis was optimal in humidity and temperature with little variance. Light intensity also was proven has effect to propolis production in this research. <p align="justify">
