A beehive system includes a processing system for monitoring and controlling a beehive. The beehive can include a bottom board, one or more boxes, and an outer cover. The one or more boxes can contain bees and bee materials, as well as various components and sensors for monitoring and controlling conditions in the beehive. The beehive can include one or more sensors for monitoring a corresponding one or more conditions inside the beehive, and one or more control elements for manipulating the one or more conditions inside the beehive.

A beeswax and/or beehive or bee keeping equipment surface is treated with a composition containing at least one solvent, at least one surfactant and at least one oxidizing agent (e.g., peroxide), optionally also containing other components such as an oxidizing agent activator, a viscosifying agent, an enzyme and/or a pH control agent, to reduce the amount of pesticide residues on the beeswax surface and/or disinfect against any bacterial, viruses, and fungi infestation.

The bee washing system washes worker bees and filters out varroa mites so that a beekeeper/operator can estimate the number of infected bees in a hive. The system includes a bee containment section with a coarse mesh filter, and a wash material section with a fine mesh filter. The system is structured so that when the bee containment section is loaded with bees, and the wash material section is loaded with wash material, an operator washes the bees by shaking the system. When the wash is complete, the operator detaches the wash material section from the system and counts the mites present on the fine mesh filter.

A hive monitoring system that determines any change in chemicals (pesticide, antibiotics, bee medicines) in the hive, measures environmental and informs the control authorities so as to provide a fully monitored and controlled production from hive to spoon. There is a chemical substance sensor in the system that measures odors at levels that cannot be detected by the human nose, and records the chemical substance data with a time stamp. The measurement data is compared by a chip with the harmful bee pesticides and limit values that should be in the hives, and information is sent to the processor unit if the limit values obtained as a result of machine learning are exceeded. The users can receive the warning/informative notifications instantly via access devices over a server that receives and stores the data sent from the processor unit and can follow the conditions of the hive when desired.

A beehive including: a plurality of honeycombs; and a disinfecting unit that heats one or more cells in at least one of the honeycombs.

A protective system is provided for insect living enclosures such as beehives. The protective system includes a listening subsystem and a spray subsystem. The spray subsystem is positionable to enable an agent to be dispensed from an outlet in a desired location relative to an entrance of the insect living enclosure. The listening subsystem is further operable to acoustically detect a threat about the entrance. Further, in response to detecting the threat, the listening subsystem is operable to control the spray subsystem to dispense the agent from the outlet.
