Design and Implementation of a Bee Product Traceability System Based on Blockchain
Food safety is a significant concern for livelihoods,and ensuring the quality and safety of bee products can only be achieved by tracing the whole bee product supply chain.Blockchain,an emerging technology,is characterized by decentralization,tamper-proofing,and time stamping.It can address the main problems of conventional traceability methods and prevent data from being attacked and maliciously tampered with.In view of the limitations of conventional bee product traceability methods,this paper proposed a bee product traceability system based on blockchain,and outlined the bee product circulation process involving five nodes:production,logistics,processing,sales,and end-users.This study established the overall structure of the five nodes and designed a bee product traceability system based on blockchain.The traceability system provided manufacturers with the opportunity to prove product quality,help companies build high-end brands,support companies in applying for regulatory licenses,and improve the supply chain efficiency.The introduction of blockchain into the bee product supply chain was a novel technical solution,which ensured the integrity,reliability,and security of traceability information.
