FIELD: apiculture. SUBSTANCE: automatic system has apiary controller, beekeeper's computer, apiary power unit, apiary power supply and information bars interface unit, beehive controllers, beehive power supply and information bars interface unit, beehive power supply, voltage-frequency converter, delay unit, serial-to-parallel converter, name unit, trigger device, heat and light sensor commutator, sensor rule commutator, control frame with first plank carrying heat and light sensors and second plank with heat sensors-light diodes. Construction of control frame features conceptual design of beehive controller, where light diodes are used as light sensors and heat sensors and are disposed in frame space. Automatic system may be used in collective and individual apiaries. EFFECT: increased efficiency in controlling bee-family state during wintering, wider operational capabilities and improved technological characteristics. 2 cl, 9 dwg
