First a bit of history. With the introduction of PI Prokopovich (1814), and then L. Langstroth (1851) and L. Berleps (1852) into the practice of apiculture in beekeeping, the efforts of researchers and beekeepers-practitioners were aimed at finding and justifying the most optimal size of the framework and the corresponding Types of hives providing the […]
Multi-hull factory-made beehives in many respects do not suit me, so I had to develop my own design. (see the figure) The height of the hive is 1.9 m. It holds 7 cassettes (1) for 10 frames (2) for 230 mm each. The cassettes are light and strong, have transparent (glass) rear walls (3) and […]
Usually, the nucleus hive has 2-4 compartments, while one wall is connected to each wall of the hive. A multi-site nucleus hive (MNU) is a hive that has 2 or more flocks on each side. With an increase in the number of ducts, the loss of the queens increases significantly. Most believe that the unimportant […]

In these hives each honeycomb is enclosed in a rectangular wooden frame, which can be freely removed and inserted back into the hive, and therefore in such hives it is easy and convenient to carry out work on the care of […]

Beekeepers-lovers, especially in places with severe winter, often put beehives in and underground homes. Zimovniki protect bees from winds and frosts, and even those equipped can even maintain the necessary […]

In it, bees can live just as they have become accustomed to for many millions of years. It corresponds to their nature. He also answers the problems of modern […]
When a person started to raise bees, he began to make dwellings for them, like natural ones. At first they were hollow pieces of wood, and in treeless places – braided from brushwood, straw, cane basket – sapetki, then and board hives. From natural dwellings – beehive hives differ in that they open up into […]
Buying ready frames is quite expensive. Therefore, it makes sense to assemble the Boa constrictor yourself. On average, this frame costs from 50 rubles. But why buy them, if you can make a lot of beekeeping equipment with your own hands? For example, nesting and feeding frames, feeders, hives. Very good, when beekeepers are engaged […]
Fig. 5. Hive with bees. The roof is removed, one honeycomb in a wooden frame is taken out. L – a leaf on the front wall of the hive, in front of it – a landing board. For each bee family, the beekeeper provides a wooden box – a beehive (see Figure 5). In the […]
