Background of the invention

Como es sabido, las colmenas están constituidas por módulos, configurados como cuerpos prismáticos o cajones, generalmente de madera, que se dividen internamente en varias partes, conteniendo verticalmente los cuadros extraíbles de panales en los que se produce la cera y la miel, los cuales suelen tener unas medidas estándar.As is known, hives are constituted by modules, configured as prismatic bodies or drawers, usually made of wood, which are divided internally into several parts, containing vertically removable panels of honeycombs in which wax and honey are produced, which usually have Standard measures.

Existen en el mercado diversos tipos de colmenas, siendo el propio peticionario titular de una solicitud de modelo de utilidad referido a una colmena perfeccionada, provista de nuevos medios para su ventilación, para la aplicación de tratamientos ecológicos y para su limpieza.There are several types of hives, the petitioner himself being the holder of a request for utility model referred to a perfected hive, provided of new means for ventilation, for the application of Ecological treatments and for cleaning.

Es igualmente conocido el hecho de que durante el verano, generalmente, dichos módulos se sitúan repartidos en la zona que corresponda para que las abejas puedan realizar su actividad, pero durante el invierno, época de receso para la actividad apicultora, dichos módulos se suelen recoger y guardar en almacenes o espacios especialmente habilitados para proteger a las abejas frente a eventuales inclemencias atmosféricas que las puedan perjudicar.It is also known that during summer, generally, these modules are distributed in the corresponding area so that the bees can perform their activity, but during the winter, time of recess for the beekeeper activity, these modules are usually collected and stored in warehouses or spaces specially enabled to protect the bees against possible atmospheric inclemencies that the They can harm.

Pues bien, con los módulos de colmena existentes actualmente en el mercado, dicho almacenamiento presenta una serie de inconvenientes a los que la presente invención pretende dar respuesta. Concretamente, los módulos son elementos que, dada su configuración prismática y rígida, ocupan mucho espacio. Sin embargo, por las características que poseen, no están adecuadamente diseñados para poder se apilados o no pueden ser apilados sin perjudicar a las abejas que contienen en su interior, ya que en tal caso se restringe la ventilación en su interior provocando graves perjuicios a causa del exceso de humedad.Well, with the hive modules currently in the market, such storage presents a series of drawbacks to which the present invention It tries to answer. Specifically, the modules are elements which, given their prismatic and rigid configuration, occupy a lot space. However, due to the characteristics they possess, they are not properly designed to be stacked or cannot be stacked without harming the bees they contain inside, since in this case the ventilation inside is restricted causing serious damage due to excess moisture.

Sería, por tanto, deseable la creación de una nueva colmena que disponga de una configuración estructural adecuada para permitir el mencionado apilamiento de los módulos durante los meses de invierno permitiendo a la vez mantener unas condiciones óptimas de ventilación y humedad en el interior del mismo para no perjudicar a las abejas, resolviendo así la problemática del espacio que dichos elementos ocupan.It would therefore be desirable to create a new hive that has a structural configuration suitable to allow the mentioned stacking of the modules during the winter months allowing at the same time to maintain some optimal ventilation and humidity conditions inside the same so as not to harm the bees, thus solving the problematic of the space that these elements occupy.

Sin embargo, por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ningún antecedente que comporte las características necesarias para alcanzar dicho fin, así como tampoco ninguna otra colmena que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y de configuración semejantes a las que presenta la que aquí se preconiza, y mediante los perfeccionamientos de la cual se pretende dar respuesta a la problemática anteriormente descrita.However, on the part of the applicant, it ignores the existence of any history that involves the characteristics necessary to achieve this end, as well as nor any other hive that has characteristics technical, structural and configuration similar to those presents what is recommended here, and through refinements which are intended to respond to the problem described above.
