A mobile indoor controlled apiary system includes a mobile foundation, a plurality of insulated panels configured for modular assembly to form a structural envelope on top of the mobile foundation, and a removable shell configured for covering the structural envelope. The system further includes a data collection system for gathering environmental data within the structural envelope, and a climate control system configured for regulating environmental conditions within the structural envelope.

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.

Methods and utensils are provided for administering plant extract(s) at controlled amount via smoking, as well as for providing complexes of honey and plant extracts. Plant extract(s) may be used in utensils that are inserted into a smoking appliance, and have indications of the compounds and/or characteristics of the plant extract. Upon smoking the smoking appliance, the plant extracts may be inhaled in pre-defined amounts. Using plant extracts in such way enables standardization of amounts and components thereof, and may be particularly applicable to cannabis oils. Furthermore, complexes of honey and plant extracts may be provided by letting bees step on or be soiled by plant extracts on their way into the beehive, causing them to incorporate the plant extracts into the honey preparation process. Resulting complexes may be a preferable and particularly beneficial way of administering plant extracts, e.g., cannabis extracts.

A multilayer artificial honeycomb is provided, the honeycomb comprises a plurality of combs; wherein each of the combs includes a plurality of working units working independently from each other; each of the working units includes an artificial frame and three layers of honey-storing rooms movably arranged in the artificial frame. The present application is flexible based on the combs construction property of different kinds of bees, suitable to the bees which store honey and breed in the same comb, such as Chinese honeybee, scoliid, bumblebee and the like. Therefore, the honeycomb produces honey all the year round, and is suitable for the regions in high altitudes, cold and having few nectar sources, and also suitable for mountainous areas and fields. The present application facilitates the popularization of breeding and application of Asian bees.

An inner cover for a beehive and methods of making the inner cover in accordance with the present disclosure are primarily characterized by a substantially rigid base and a substantially rigid banding defining a volume within the inner cover. The base includes one or more ventilation openings which may optionally be covered by a screening material. The screening material, or the ventilation openings themselves, may be selectively blockable and unblockable by bees through the use of available materials such as propolis or beeswax. Self-variation by the bees of ventilation within the inner cover controls air circulation and temperature regulation, improving the survivability of the bees within a beehive as outside temperatures vary and allowing for year-round use. Food may be placed upon the ventilation openings, screening material, or surrounding structure, allowing bees to feed and regulate their environment without the risks of breaking cluster.
