METHOD TO CONTROL THE STATE OF A BEE FAMILY IN A HIVE DURING WINTERING

摘要

A method to control the state of a bee family in a hive during wintering includes measuring the temperature in a nest of the bee family and bringing indices thereof outside of the hive. The measuring of the temperature is carried out within the limits of the middle swarm of the nest on the way of the potential movement of a cluster with the measuring conducted both in the cluster and beyond thereof. According to the temperature indices, brought outside, the placement of the cluster in the hive is simulated and a way of movement, volume thereof, the state of activity of the family, amount of feed on the way of the movement of the cluster are determined.
