Hey I saw this post and saw someone mention some routers on here and personally when dealing with a large amount of machines that are connected, routers are the only way to go. I posted a video a little while ago about how you can use routers with apiaries (didn't add frames into them, as I was just going over the basic setup, etc). Of course there is much more that could be added to completely automate everything. I watched the other video in this post and while it was a good set up I would still use routers just because they are specific as I explain in the video. Hope this helps!
