Bee venom is a product of the secretory activity of bee venom glands, and is part of many drugs and is highly valued in medical practice. Collecting bee venom in our country will allow us to solve the most important problem of import substitution and provide the domestic pharmaceutical industry with our own raw materials. Currently, the most common technologies for collecting bee venom are electric methods of collecting bee venom due to irritation of bees with electrical signals of a certain frequency and shape. Under the influence of annoying signals, the bees sting the glass in the venom receivers, leaving venom on it, then the glass is removed from the venom receiver and, in laboratory conditions, the venom is removed from the glass. The main disadvantages of all currently existing electric technologies for collecting bee venom are the low productivity of the beekeeper in collecting bee venom, the inability to set an individual operating mode for each beehive when collecting venom depending on the state of the bee colonies, and the high cost of the venom collection system due to the need to have wire lines for each hive, a central device for generating annoying signals and transport devices for equipment moving and difficulties in operating bee venom collection system. The proposed technology of collecting bee venom can significantly increase the beekeeper’s labor productivity through the use of an individual block of generating annoying signals in each hive, reduce the cost of the equipment and significantly increase its reliability by eliminating the central device for generating annoying signals and all wired communication lines with the hives. The article provides a block diagram of bee venom collection system “Muksh 7”, which uses the proposed technology for collecting bee venom and describes its operation. In 2020, it is planned to conduct field trials of the bee venom collection system “Muksh 7”, with the proposed technology for collecting venom in apiaries of the Mari El Republic.
