FIELD: apiculture. SUBSTANCE: system has apiary controller 1 with bee-keeper's computer 2, apiary transceiver and apiary power unit 4, and beehive controllers 5. Each beehive controller 5 has beehive transceiver 6, frequency band-pass filter 7, controllable cyclic generator 8, initial setting unit 12, counter 11, reference "temperature-frequency" converter 14, control frame 21 with temperature sensors 22, sensor commutator 17, plank commutator 18, beehive power unit 9, name certifying unit 13, modulation unit 10, photodetector commutator 19, decoder 20, photosignal amplifier 16. Light-emitting diodes and photodetectors 23 optically connected one with another are mounted on intermediate planks of control frame. During operation control frame 21 is arranged in space between frames. Beehive controller signal processing device is mounted on side planks of frame 21. EFFECT: increased efficiency in controlling bee family state and enhanced reliability in operation. 2 cl, 8 dwg
