AUTOMATIZED SYSTEM FOR YEAR-ROUND STUDY OF BEE-FAMILY ACTIVITY

摘要

FIELD: apiculture. SUBSTANCE: automatized system has apiary controller with beekeeper's computer, apiary transceiver and beehive controllers including hive transceiver, frequency-band filter, controlled cyclic generator, hive power unit, modulation unit, temperature data commutator, temperature- frequency comparison converter, hive initial position unit, photodetectors and light emitters of hive controller. Number of light emitters corresponds to the number of bee frames. System is further provided with controllers of frames having temperature sensors, frame power supply unit, temperature-frequency converter, frame initial position unit, frame sensor counter, commutators of X and Y sensors, light emitters and photodetectors. System allows year-round control of bee-family activity to be carried out. Hives are free from detachable and wire connection with bee frame sensors. EFFECT: increased efficiency, provision for obtaining precise data and enhanced reliability in operation.
