The newly constructed cell of the nest frames has a white or light yellow color. As the number of generations of larvae grows in cells in cells, the cells gradually grow old. Its color becomes light brown, dark brown, and, finally, almost black. The weight of the honeycomb increases from 140 … 150 to 300 […]
Equipment: frames, combined rollers with a spur, planks, punch or an awl, electric plates, metal bowls with a capacity of 2 … 3 liters, hammers, pliers, knives. Materials: artificial wax, tinned wire, small nails. Methodical instructions. The use of an artificial honeycomb within the framework for the detuning of new honeycombs is of great practical […]
