Abstract: A hexagonal beehive includes a hive body having a hexagonal cross-section. The hive body has a front, a back, a top half, and a bottom half and defines an open interior. The front has a landing deck and defines an entrance opening above the landing deck. The bottom and rear have sealable vent portions. The beehive includes hexagonal frame members having outer peripheries that are sized and shaped to be positionable within the open interior. Each frame member has an outer frame having a first thickness and an inner frame having a smaller second thickness such that the inner frames of adjacent frame members are spaced apart from one another. Each hexagonal frame member includes a plurality of access channels. Each inner frame defines a central opening. The beehive further includes a base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a small hive beetle trap configured to be located beneath a beehive. The trap includes a frame formed from one or more frame members, including a front frame member; an opening for bees to enter and exit the hive via the trap; a small hive beetle entry including at least one channel configured to direct small hive beetle and their larvae that enter the small hive beetle entry away from the hive; a corrugated panel held by the frame and adapted to direct the beetles and/or the larvae that evade the small hive beetle entry into the troughs of the panel and into at least one opening located within each trough; and a removable tray located beneath the at least one channel and the corrugated panel for collecting and trapping the beetles and/or the larvae that pass through the at least one channel and the opening.

Abstract: A heater-equipped man-made beehive incorporates a substantially enclosed hive body having a plurality of joined side walls, a floor, and a top. The hive body defines an entrance sufficient for allowing passage of bees into and from the beehive. A heating element is located inside the hive body adjacent the floor, and is adapted to raise an ambient temperature inside the beehive.

Abstract: A wind shield supported by a beehive bottom board prevents directly impinging wind from creating high-pressure differences across the beehive such as promote excessive ventilation. By providing an entry path that opens upward and follows a twisted path, proper ventilation and access to the beehive by the bees may be maintained. The wind shield may be quickly installed on a variety of beehive designs and easily removed during warm weather.

Abstract: A system ventilation and entrance adjustment for a beehive is provided. The system includes: a first panel comprising a first cutout and an entrance adjustment portion flanking the first cutout; and a second panel disposed rearward of the first panel and comprising a second cutout. The first panel is slidable relative to the second panel. In a closed configuration the entrance adjustment portion blocks the second cutout to prevent bees from passing through, and in an open configuration the entrance adjustment portion either does not block, or only partially blocks, the second cutout to allow bees to pass through. The first panel and the second panel each comprise ventilation means. In the closed configuration and in the open configuration the ventilation means of the first panel are arranged to at least partially overlap with the ventilation means of the second panel to allow air to flow through the system.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure include a system for providing non-contact, computer-vision based monitoring of the health and pollination activity of a beehive. The system may include camera positioned proximate to a beehive. The camera may include an onboard processor that analyzes video of the beehive captured by the camera and calculates an activity value that estimates a number of bees moving about the beehive. The video calculated activity values may be uploaded to a server where they can be accessed via a user device. The user device may allow the user to display interactive plots of the activity values over a variety of time bases. The disclosed beehive monitoring system relies on relatively lost-cost hardware and requires neither modification to the hive nor special constraints on the placement of the camera.

Abstract translation: 本公开的方面包括用于提供对蜂巢的健康和授粉活动的非接触的基于计算机视觉的监测系统。 系统可以包括靠近蜂巢定位的摄像机。 照相机可以包括一个板载处理器，分析由摄像机拍摄的蜂窝的视频，并计算一个活动值，该值估计蜂窝蜂动的数量。 视频计算的活动值可以上传到可以通过用户设备访问的服务器。 用户设备可以允许用户在各种时基上显示活动值的交互图。 所公开的蜂巢监控系统依赖于相对丢失的硬件，并且不需要修改蜂巢，也不需要对相机的放置的特殊约束。
