The loss of a swarm results in a shortage of honey and honeycombs in the apiary. To prevent its exit, use self-made rouletteers of different designs. The proposed site allows you to combine several operations: Removal of the swarm; Keeping it in a cool room; Transplanting bees from the rovney to the hive; selection of […]
Universal separation grid. In the kit two pieces in the size of 448X470 mm. They are designed for standard 10- and 12-ram hives. For installation in a 10-frame hive, it is sufficient to break off part of the grid. Twelve thin ribs greatly facilitate the transition of bees from the nesting part of the hive […]
Scheme of glacier with lateral loading of ice: 1 – entrance to the glacier; 2 – shelter; 3 – storage compartment; 4 – walls of the room; 5 – vent pipe; 6 – ice chamber; 7 – drain into the sewer; 8 – well. The glacier is a room deepened in the ground, which has […]
When framing frames and equipping them with wire, the side strips are often split, so many beekeepers pre-drill holes in them. I offer readers a simple and convenient machine of their own design. It consists of a massive base 1 and a supporting pipe 2. At the top of the pipe there is an engine […]
Each apiary has a solar wax-up. In it, bright light honeycombs are re-heated and with a minimum of labor they receive high-quality wax. However, it can not be used effectively in the early spring and autumn, when the days are short, and the sun warms poorly. This can be avoided. The corpus of the voskotopki […]
Beehive frames should be piled with whole sheets of artificial wax. With this nastavity, the work of the bees is facilitated and accelerated; a smaller number of bees are occupied by the construction of honeycombs, therefore, more bees can go for nectar and pollen, resulting in a greater honey harvest; usually honeycombs with bee cells […]
Probably, every beekeeper after the exhibition of families has to find in honeycomb hives with crystallized honey. The scheme of the bath. Often, bees throw crystals at the bottom of the hive. To help them, I independently made a special bath. From above it is closed with a lid 1. The height of the body […]
During the growth of bee colonies, swarms are formed and formed. Despite counter-measures, swarms often fly out of hives, are planted on a tree, shrub or specially arranged near the apiary, and after a while fly away to a new place. The loss of a swarm results in a shortage of a certain amount of […]
I use a simple and convenient vaccine frame of my own design. I take three or four bars with a section of 10X8 mm and I make two or three slots 1 mm wide in them. Planks nailed to the side bars of the usual frame. If necessary, they can be rotated. Blades are made […]
On the screen of home TV an apiary. If there is a trouble in some hive, it will flash. Then call this hive and see what happened there. Beekeepers have installed computers in beehives and can now monitor the life of bees and manage them for hundreds of kilometers. I would not, of course, computerize […]
