Abstract: A frame and comb foundation and method for controlling Varroa mites in a honeybee hive. In a first embodiment the invention is comprised of half portions of the frame and comb foundation in combination with a power supply, heating element, electronic control unit (ECU), temperature sensor and an optional diagnostic system. The ECU which may be mounted on the frame and comb foundation or, in a separate enclosure is comprised of a micro-controller and other circuitry. The temperature sensor is mounted adjacent to the heating unit. The power supply may mobile or stationary, such as a battery or line current. In a second embodiment, the frame and comb foundation is interconnected with similar frame and comb foundations in multiple hives that include individual ECU's and temperature sensors and individual wireless electronic communication systems, a single power source and individual heating elements. The multiple temperature sensors are mounted adjacent to the heating elements.

Abstract: A transmitter is provided for transmitting a remote binary control signal to a vehicle-mounted receiver having a stored unique security code, a security code comparator, circuitry for powering up and activating the code comparator upon receipt of a signal including an integral power up initiation code, and circuitry for outputting a vehicle function command corresponding to the function code portion of a received signal having the matching unique security code. The transmitter stores a unique security code comprising a sequence of binary bits and has a plurality of manual switches each operable to transmit an integral three-part signal comprising a sequence of binary bits including the power up initiation code, the unique security code, and a selected one of a plurality of function codes. Preferably, the power up initiation code includes at least two binary bits, the unique security code includes at least twenty-four binary bits, and the function codes each include at least three binary bits.
