FIELD: apiculture. SUBSTANCE: automated system has beehive controller including bee keeper computer, power unit, beehive transceiver, audio map, control unit, and hive controller including beehive transceivers and power units. Hive control unit has cold junction temperature-frequency converter, high-frequency generator, audio amplifier, microphone, gating decoder, switch unit, temperature data intake interfaces, power transfer units, temperature data commutator, and bee frame controllers mounted on upper strips of bee frames having temperature sensor matrices arranged between bee combs. Bee frame controllers have x- and y-coordinate sensor commutators, bee frame power unit, sensor counter, initial frame setting unit, temperature data transfer interface, frame power intake interface, thermoelectric power amplifier, time-pulse generator, sawtooth generator, and temperature-time converter. Grid of thermocouple sensors used as temperature sensors has cold junctions positioned on side strips of bee frames, with number of cold junctions being equal to that of horizontal wires. Automated system has two-wire communication line combined with power supply line and may be also used in common and mobile beehives requiring less time for setting and putting into operation. Frames may be moved together with bees within hive. EFFECT: enhanced reliability in operation, convenient usage and simplified commercial management of system. 3 dwg
