Abstract: A system for monitoring the state of a beehive comprises multiple gates configured to be positioned proximate to an entrance of a beehive. Each gate includes one or more sensors configured to capture information indicating a bee is within the gate and information indicating the bee is traveling toward or away from the entrance to the beehive. In addition, each gate includes a sensor configured to capture information identifying the size or shape of a bee within the gate. A corresponding method and computer readable medium are also disclosed.

Abstract: The pollen feeder is a device made out of plastic that is attached to a beehive body box of standard opening. The beekeeper will unscrew the cap placing pollen or pollen substitute into the silo. The pollen will be suspended above the feeding area by number eight screen. The pollen feeder is light weight and is easily held in place by the weight of the hive body box. The pollen feeder permits the beekeeper to measure the amount of pollen used by a particular colony. The pollen feeder will help the beekeeper to deter the development of small hive beetles.

Abstract: A hive for feeding bees includes features to provide multiple configurations based on the needs of the bees. The hive includes side ports that use glass plates and port covers to allow access to the interior of the hive without unnecessarily disturbing the bees. The hive also uses a top bar configuration to promote bee health and productivity. The hive also includes hive ends to receive feeding assemblies that provide materials to the bees without disturbing the interior of the hive.

Abstract: A system to detect the presence of a queen bee in a hive. The first system includes an RFID (radio frequency identification) tag (secured to the queen) and a RFID detection device secured adjacent the hive opening that sends an output that indicates the presence or absence of the queen bee. In a second embodiment, a bit of metal (thin foil) can be secured to the queen by means of an adhesive, and a metal detector can be positioned by the hive opening to detect the metal, and send an output that indicates the presence or absence of the queen bee. In a third embodiment, one or more infrared cameras can be positioned adjacent the hive entrance, coupled with detection scanning software that can detect the difference between a drone, a worker and a queen bee, and indicate the presence or absence of the queen bee.

Abstract: A device positioned beneath a beehive for use in controlling parasites in beehives including a base structure and a number of bars extending across the base structure. The bars are held spaced from one another by crosspieces engaged with the bars and the base structure. The bars are spaced from one another to enable waste and parasites to fall between the bars. The bars are formed of a low-adhesion material to prevent the parasites from being able to climb onto the bars and back into the beehive.

Abstract: A solar-powered ventilation module is designed to be inserted between an existing standard beehive and its existing standard cover. The module houses electrical components of the invention and acts as a plenum. A thermostat exposed to the beehive interior air controls a fan when the air temperature inside the beehive exceeds a predetermined limit (preferably about 75.degree..+-.5.degree. F.). The fan, preferably with a capacity of 30 to 40 cfm, is controlled by the thermostat and powered by a photovoltaic solar panel either directly or by a battery recharged by a solar panel. The fan-induced ventilation helps control temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide level within the hive. A screen prevents bees from passing through the fan. Warm air is exhausted from the hive and vented to the ambient air through a plurality of vents in the side wall of the module, while cooler ambient air is drawn into the beehive through existing hive openings. Exhausted warm air is preferably directed toward the direction of the hive entrance. Pheromones of the particular beehive are carried on the exhausted air toward the front exterior of the hive, where they may be detected by the bees of that beehive. The solar panel is mounted on an adjustable articulated or flexible arm so it can be positioned and aimed for maximum light exposure. The solar panel is preferably connected to other electrical components through extendable connections so that the solar panel may be mounted remotely from the ventilator module if necessary for maximum sunlight. This feature is especially useful if the hive itself is in a shady area. With these extendable connections retracted, the solar panel or its adjustable articulated arm may be mounted directly on the exterior of the module.

Abstract translation: 太阳能通风模块设计为插入现有的标准蜂巢和现有的标准盖之间。 该模块容纳本发明的电气部件并用作充气室。 当蜂巢内的空气温度超过预定极限（优选约75°+/- 5°F）时，暴露于蜂巢内部空气的恒温器控制风扇。 优选地，容量为30至40cfm的风扇由恒温器控制，并由光伏太阳能电池板直接供电或由由太阳能电池板充电的电池驱动。 风扇通风有助于控制蜂巢内的温度，湿度和二氧化碳水平。 屏幕可以防止蜜蜂通过风扇。 温暖的空气从蜂巢中排出，并通过组件侧壁上的多个通风孔排放到环境空气中，而较冷的环境空气通过现有的蜂巢开口被吸入蜂巢中。 排气暖空气优选地指向蜂巢入口的方向。 特定蜂巢的信息素在排出的空气上朝向蜂巢的前外部运送，蜂巢中的蜂可以被蜂巢检测。 太阳能电池板安装在可调节的铰接或柔性臂上，因此可以将其定位和瞄准以实现最大的曝光。 太阳能电池板优选通过可延伸的连接件连接到其它电气部件，使得如果需要最大限度的阳光，太阳能电池板可以远离呼吸机模块安装。 如果蜂巢本身处于阴凉区域，此功能特别有用。 在这些可伸缩连接缩回的情况下，太阳能电池板或其可调节的铰接臂可以直接安装在模块的外部。

Abstract: A ventilating inner cover, for a beehive wintering outdoors, is disclosed. The inner cover provides adequate, but not excessive ventilation while preventing a draft through the beehive. The inner cover embodies a ventilation channel that connects the top-center volume of the upper brood chamber with the outside atmosphere. The ventilation channel is simple to construct, being formed into the structure of the inner cover.

Abstract: To promote the collection and harvesting of propolis from a bee colony a fine mesh screen through which bees are unable to pass is located in a central ventilation passage of the colony by registering it with the scraper screen of an internal pollen trap. The bees deposit propolis on the screen which can be removed without dismantling the hive.
