FIELD: apiculture. SUBSTANCE: system has apiary controller comprising bee keeper's computer, power unit and beehive receiver-transmitter, sound cart, control unit, and hive controller comprising receivers-transmitters and power units for hives, hive control unit, cold junction temperature-frequency converter, high-frequency generator, pulse separating unit, sound amplifier, microphone, gating decoder, key unit, temperature information receiving interface units, power transmitting units, temperature information commutator, bee frame controllers arranged at upper planks of bee frames and comprised of sensor commutators of axes of abscissa and ordinates, bee frame power unit, sensors counter, frame initial setting unit, temperature information transmitting interface unit, power receiving interface unit, thermal electromotive force amplifier, cycle generator, voltage-frequency converter, and AND gate. Temperature detector is made in the form of lattice of cold junction thermocouple sensors mounted on side planks of bee frames in an amount equal to number of horizontal conductors. System is further provided with double-wire communication line, which is joined to power supply unit and may be used in movable apiaries. Usage of lattice type thermocouple sensors as temperature detectors reduces labor intensity. EFFECT: reduced manufacture costs, enhanced reliability in operation upon removal of outdated honeycombs and positioning of artificial foundation. 2 dwg
