Abstract

During the winter time honey bees can be placed in a special wintering building to save physiological resources of bees and honey compared with outdoor wintered bees. This building should have stable and convenient microclimate conditions for bees. The most important parameter of microclimate to be controlled is temperature. For our bee wintering building we have developed a special temperature control system, using a programmable logic controller (PLC) that is permanently connected via Internet to the model based risk management system. The developed system helps to minimize honey bee wintering risks. The possible risks are the start of intensive brood rearing before early spring and the risk of control system failure. To minimize technical system errors SMS and e-mail notifications are used.
