FIELD: apiculture, in particular, year-round observation of heat fields in beehive. SUBSTANCE: automatic system has apiary controller, beekeeper's computer, apiary transmitter-receiver, apiary power unit, beehive controller and beehive transmitter-receiver. Beehive controller receiving set, reference temperature-frequency converter, frame power supply interface, frame controller, frame transmitter-receiver, frame power receiver interface, frame power rectification and filtration circuit, sensor commutator, temperature-frequency converter, frame time pulse generator, frame initial mounting unit, beehive frame with sensors interfaced with beehive. Noncontact connections are used in automatic system for reading temperature data from sensors mounted in bee combs. Beehive is free from wire connections. Beehive controller is mounted in beehive casing wall. Construction uses general-purpose beehive name unit, which does not require complicated adjustment for new name. EFFECT: simplified observation practice, convenient operation and provision for obtaining precise data. 2 dwg
