An integrated bee monitoring system for monitoring bee colonies in a hive has a central microprocessor, at least two input transducers and at least two output signals. Input transducers include sensors which report the status of the colonies including colony weight, temperature, and relative humidity. A bee counter can also be included in the system to indicate colony activity. A bee counter is disclosed which uses an amplifying, multiplexer hysteresis and debounce circuitry to enable rapid and accurate polling of a single passageway. Information collected can be retrieved by read-out or liquid crystal display. Alternatively, information ca be retrieved by telephone line or wireless communications. The bee monitoring system also can remotely control peripheral devices such as feeders or chemical samplers.

The invention discloses a honey bee attractant and a method for seed production and pollination of a soybean hybrid seed in a field. The honey bee attractant is prepared from cellular liquid, imitation flower liquid, syrup and water. The method comprises the steps of: selecting the field suitable for growth of soybean, sowing the soybean hybrid seed in good time, interplanting a male parent and a female parent at an interval of a ridge, selecting required quantity of healthy pollination swarm before pollination, transporting the healthy pollination swarm in the soybean field at an early flowering stage of the soybean; feeding attractant syrup one hour before spraying the honey bee attractant in each day or at an interval of a day; forming 1-5 ridges for every1-3 days, spraying the honey bee attractant on hybrid soybean plant leaf of the male parent and the female parent in the 1-5 ridges; inducing a large quantity of bees to gradually fall on the hybrid soybean plant leaf to eat the attractant syrup; then spraying the honey bee attractant on the two sides of a hybrid soybean strain stem, inducing the bees to climb on the soybean strain stem and continue to climb on the soybean to collect, thereby pollinating the hybrid soybean; stopping spraying the honey bee attractant in a cloudy or rainy day, and spraying the honey bee attractant when the weather gets nicer, so as to keep enough attractant required for inducing the bees in the field.

The invention discloses a Boya (the name of the product, in Chinese means erudition and elegance) beehive and auxiliary equipment. The Boya beehive and the auxiliary equipment comprise a box, a Boya vent pipe, a Boya functional box, a Boya feeder, a Boya combined frame, a Boya queen bee isolator, a Boya protective table queen bee cage, a Boya honeycomb door, and Boya lantern rings, wherein the Boya vent pipe is arranged in the box to allow ventilation instead of light transmitting; the Boya honeycomb door can isolate the queen bee and can be used for a long time; the Boya functional box can collect the queen bee and drones and guard against theft; the Boya feeder cannot drown bees, occupies a little of space, but is high in capacity; the Boya queen bee isolator can store and isolate the queen bee for a long time; the Boya protective table queen bee cage can protect the table and cage the queen bee for a short time; as for the Boya combined frame, the frame bodies and frame lugs are separately designed, the frame bodies and the frame lugs are connected through the Boya lantern rings, and can be quickly disassembled. The high box is adopted to mount the multilayered frames; the multilayered frames can be changed up and down, so as to prolong the service life of the honeycomb; the frames of the single-queen-bee box, the double-queen-bee box and the mating box can be in common use; insulating layers are arranged in the box body to insulate the heat; in winter, one to two layers of the frames can be only mounted, and the bees under the frame are naturally in groups to pass the winter.
