One of the integrative indicators of over-all performance estimation is profitability of the production. It is possible to increase competitiveness of beekeeping production as well as national food security via implementation of efficient electrical technologies. Enhancing of microclimate parameters in hives allows us to enhance the intensity of spring development of bees. The counting of integrate heat losses in heaves with ozone treatment and without the one was carried out. Using the obtained results and graphs we can develop the automation system for in-heave microclimate control. The article presents the graphs of heat losses in a beehive on the outdoor temperature and relative humidity, which were obtained experimental. It is proved that when the outdoor temperature from -15 to 8 ° C and the change in ambient air humidity of 60 to 100% heat loss beehive decrease from 4-5 W to 0.2-0.4 W. It is concluded that treatment of bees by ozone, while reducing the concentration of pathogenic microorganisms, will reduce the energy loss by reducing the air exchange, i.e. improve conditions for the development of the bee colony

Hereby an urgency of electric drive with rational operating mode for honey output centrifuge is substantiated. There was ascertained, that exposure of regularity of honey movement out of the cell-frames within centrifuge during the honey output will let to work out rational electric drive for centrifuge and to reduce a work content of the technological process. Principal electro scheme for centrifuge electric drive controlling is given here. Feasibility study for honey centrifuge rational electric drive application for serving an apiary, consisting of 100 colonies of bees is performed here. Recommendations for application of research results are hereby given

The equation describing the whole combination of actions with bees in hives during spring development is obtained. The formula for coefficient of degree of bee colony development during exact period is obtained. The whole combination of electrical technological actions let to increase the bee colony spring development by two times. The counting of the bee keeping labor profitability for the case of application of electrical technologies during winter and spring is carried out. Application of electrical technologies increases the profitability of honey production by two times. The competitiveness of honey bee products could be increased by the way of application of the meanings of efficient electrical technologies targeted onto increasing of honey productivity of bees, increasing of eco-purity of sanitary actions and decreasing of labor content of main technological actions. Using these calculations, you can create an automated climate control system in the hive. To do this, you must also take control laws and apply the appropriate sensors, microcontrollers and executive bodies. All of this will go to the next - higher level of profitability of beekeeping that rose-sieves produced pro-competitive products. To automate the most labor-intensive processes of beekeeping. These processes are pumping honey and labor costs beekeepers to carry out veterinary and sanitary measures

Hereby are represented: method and results of experimental research for substantiation of rational operating mode for honey centrifuge electric drive. Empiric model of influence of honey temperature (from 20 to 30 оС) and honey humidity (from 17 to 21%) on initial rotating speed of centrifuge was worked out. Rational operating mode of honey centrifuge electric drive consists of 3 stages of honey output. Rotating speed of drum with allowance to the honey temperature and humidity for each stage was substantiated. There is an example of model using. Recommendations for application of research results are given

In the article we have represented the following items: heating model of discharge device of the ozone gen-erator which allows to examine the transient process and establishes dependence of heating time constant of the dielectric barriers on constructive parameters of discharge device.

The article is devoted to increasing beekeeping’s earning capacity with rigging and automation of technological processes. Winter is the most complicated and critical period in beekeeping. It influences on further productivity of bee colony. Winter period has specificity – bees are gathering in winter cluster and sustaining temperature in 24…32 °С range inside. This temperature is depending on fluctuation of outside air temperature. For passing winter without complication electric heating is used. Cluster geometry in winter is changing constantly and for optimal regime of electric heating we need to take it into account. Additionally, bees’ activity changing beehive’s microclimate and it’s important to know when beehive’s microclimate adaptive control system is developed. Conducted researches allow us to get basic equations which characterizes microclimate with taking into account of winter cluster’s variable geometry. The equations establish linkage basic parameters of beehive, winter cluster, internal air between outdoor air. Simulation results may be used for adaptive heating control system programming. Additionally, it may be used in special-purpose software for beehive’s microclimate simulation
