To make the wall of the hive body 450 mm high, you need to glue several boards into one shield. This operation I carry out with the help of the clamp I designed. It consists of a frame 1 welded from two channels having a size of 100X300 mm and two corners 50X690 mm to […]
Bicycle carriage – lift. Often, the location of the apiary does not allow it to approach it on a truck fairly close, and it is not easy to transport multi-hull beams for a relatively large distance by a hand cart. It is much faster and easier to do this with the help of a bicycle-lift […]
Good sound insulation properties are foam plastic OPBS-35, which is available. When using it, it is convenient to cut through the thickness into two plates of 49.5 mm; three for 32.5 mm; on four and five plates accordingly on 24 and 19 mm. It is not difficult to do this with a simple device that […]
I bring to the readers’ attention a water wax-furnace of my own design. It consists of an enamel tank 1 with a capacity of 20 liters, manufactured by the industry for household needs (height – 50, diameter – 27 cm), cover-press 2 and metal hook 6. As a cover, the press used a conventional pelmennitsu, […]
During the active bee season at different times bees are given feeding, water, pollen, nucleuses are formed, the swarm is caught, varroa mites are killed, etc. For each operation, a separate device is usually used. For their manufacture, and then care take a lot of materials, time and labor. In addition, the use of most […]
Fig. 1. Bottom disc: (top view) 1 – window for the shoulder of the frame, 2 – window with staples for fixing the frame. From the chordial four-frame honey extractor, it is easy to make a 10-8-frame radial frame on the frame of a multi-hull beehive. I have been using such a ten-frame medobonka for […]
Change the size of the hole of the upper tap with the help of various attachments: cork, ventilation mesh, grill for the passage of bees, etc. This is inconvenient and takes a lot of time. I decided to make a universal flight barrier. From sheet aluminum cut out a rectangular plate, in a vice bent […]
My hives are constantly on special pedestals, which move through metal pipes in diameter in half an inch or an inch. For this purpose, the wheels have grooves corresponding to the diameter of the pipes. When loading and unloading beehives during travel, I use a ladder made from the same pipes. To the trolley-stand with […]
For roaming, multihull hives must have a reliable and convenient connection of parts of the hives. In the practice of beekeeping, many types of constructions are used for securing the hulls of multi-hull beehives – steel tape, steel rods with screw terminals, and others. All of them are inconvenient to use, cumbersome in storage, do […]

If in the area where the apiary stands, the members of the family, neighbors or acquaintances can help immerse the hives on the trailer, then, after arriving at the honey-combs, the beekeeper […]
