DEVICE FOR REGULATION OF MICROCLIMATE IN APIARIES BEEHIVES Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A01K47/00 A01K47/06 A01K53/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to beekeeping and can be used on individual and collective apiaries. Device for regulation of a microclimate in a beehive contains a housing-beehive for bees with a temperature control system consisting of a temperature sensor, a heating element with a temperature regulator and a power supply. In the volume of the hive extra space there is additionally a vessel with a vacuum valve and water, a calibrated tube for water supply, and at the bottom of the beehive – a drinking bowl of a rectangular shape with a floating grid and an acoustic sensor in the form of a hydrophone or a sealed laryngophone and an additional heater under the bottom of the drinking bowl. Water temperature control system comprises series-connected acoustic sensor, narrow-band amplifier, band-pass filter with amplifier, relay element with delay time for disconnection with output closing contact, connecting plus power supply with additional heater, made in form of composite transistor with integral temperature sensor at its input.

EFFECT: invention provides higher reliability and accuracy of microclimate adjustment in beehives in winter-spring periods of the year due to change of level of supplied power by separate heaters for water heating, which contributes to increase of eggs laying by bee uterus and dynamics of family development.
