Bees winter on the platform

I equipped my apiary on a mobile platform. Its width is 245 cm, the hives have 22 frames on the narrow frame 300X430 mm. Letka two: the lower slotted and upper round, oriented to a warm skid. The roof is flat, covered with sheet iron. In the end part, it is fastened to the hive body by two fore-holes. In the raised position it is fixed by an emphasis. From the opposite sides in the roof are made ventilation holes, from inside barred with a frequent grid. To improve ventilation in the back wall of the hive with a circular saw, four cuts of 2X150 mm are made at the bottom. I do not use ceiling planks. Between the roof and the sheet of iron is laid a layer of heat-insulating material with a thickness of 20-mm.

These design features are aimed at preventing overheating of hives, as it is not always possible to place the platform in the shade of trees. The distance between beehives in one row is 40 mm, between rows – 50 cm. They are on the platform all year round.

In addition to the internal insulation (polystyrene on the side and batting in two layers on top of the nest), which is used only in winter and early spring, the hives have permanent external warming: intermittent space is filled with cannabis trimming, and on the sides and top is covered with aluminum strips 1 mm thick. Such warming protects hives in winter from hypothermia, and in summer – from overheating. Bottom of the bottom of the hive are nailed slats 30 mm thick to create an air space between the hive and the floor l of the platform.

This ensures an optimal thermal regime. The side edge of the platform is made of a board-forties. Its upper end serves as a landing board for the lower tap. The landing boards of the upper vanes are easily removed. They are fixed on the gate-turners. In autumn, before the onset of inclement weather, the platform with the hives is covered with a roofing material. In the spring there is no damp in the hives, there is little scrap, the families are developing well.

Thus, the platform is used year-round. This increases the productivity of the beekeeper by eliminating loading and unloading operations, large mobility of the apiary and provides favorable conditions for the life of bees.
