The present application includes a system configured to monitor and track the health and productivity of a beehive. Information associated with environmental conditions around the beehive are monitored along with conditions inside the beehive. This information is processed through a control system and compared to baseline expected values. Communication data is transmitted by the control system to a remote device to notify the beekeeper of the present and past health and productivity of the beehive. The beekeeper may remotely operate one or more functions to affect the beehive. Additionally, an electronic monitoring device is used to track the number of bees that leave and enter the beehive. A dual-gate design is used to determine the direction of travel of each bee so as to determine a more accurate reflection of the health of the beehive.
