Description

BOTTOM SUBSYSTEM IN THE HONEY BREED

The invention relates to a bottom part arrangement in a hive structure for bees, in which the base part body is a bottom opening frame in which a separate bottom plate can be fitted on said frame.

There is previously known in the bee nest structure as a base part a frame comprising a bee opening on one side and a fixed base plate or mesh inside the frame. A plurality of honeycomb cartridges are superimposed on the bottom portion, each comprising honeycombs. To access the base, remove all of the above cassettes from the base, as well as any roofing and protective structures and weights. The aperture usually guides the bees to the bottom plate and continues from there to the cells.

When the base plate is fixed in known structures, a compromise has been made in determining its elevation so that there is too little space above the base plate for winter requirements, and too much space for summer requirements. Alternatively, an arrangement has been used to insert a platform between the bottom and the honeycomb cartridges. This »insertion requires removing the entire cassette stack from the bottom.

In the summer, known structures have the disadvantage of creating a wild structure on the bottom plate when there is too much space. In the winter, on the other hand, there is too little space and dead bees on top of the bottom plate of "I Love" block the ventilation, get wet, freeze and rot. Decreased ventilation causes mold to the edges and corners of the base plate. Known solutions have attempted to solve the problem by placing a ventilation network at the bottom and increasing the space. However, this has caused excessive cold and, in the summer, increased wildlife in the nest with the addition of space.

The present invention has surprisingly solved the problems with the base member and the base plate and provides a structure in which the above disadvantages have been eliminated. The bottom part arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that the base plate can be placed in the run piece in the first horizontal position and in the second horizontal position, whereby it is inverted with respect to the first position.

An advantage of the bottom sectional arrangement according to the invention is that the bottom plate included therein can be easily pulled out of the base section behind the housing structure and pivoted and retracted, thus being positioned at a different height in the base section frame. The bees' aperture remains unchanged, and when they enter the aperture, they are directed over the bottom plate in each case. The bottom plate design allows the hive to be ventilated at the edges, which is not too strong and the cold air that comes in will not hit the bees directly. In addition, the ventilation from the edges prevents mold from forming on the edges and corners.

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figs. 1a-d show a bottom plate to be placed in the base portion, viewed from different sides. Figure 2 is a side view of the base body and base plate.

Figure 3 shows the base body and the base plate with the base plate turned.

Figure 4 shows the base plate obliquely seen in the base body.

Fig. 5 shows the base plate rotated in a oblique view of the body.

Fig. 1 shows a base plate 1 to be inserted into the base body body 8 having a planar portion 4, a front edge 6 and a rear edge 2. The rear edge 2 also includes a handle 3, from which pulling of the base plate 1 is easy. The planar portion 4 is in a different plane with respect to the leading edge 6 and the trailing edge 2 so that the upwardly pivoting base plate 4 is at a different height in the base body member 8. The two opposite sides of the planar portion 4 are retracted that air can circulate through openings 5 between the body member 8 and the planar portion 4.

Fig. 2 shows a base body 8 and a base plate 1 which is pivoted so that its planar portion 4 is in the lower position if it is placed in the body 8. and inside the enclosure, but allows the necessary ventilation in the enclosure.

Fig. 3 shows a base body 8 and a base plate 1 which is pivoted so that its planar portion 4 is in an upright position if it is placed in the body 8. The bee flight opening is at the left end of the body 8.

Figure 4 shows the bottom plate 1 with the planar portion 4 in the up position and Figure 5 with the planar portion in the down position. An arrow shown in the bottom plate 1 for removal and installation directions. The back plate part 2 of the bottom plate has a hole of exactly the same size in the body part 8, so that the structure is tight in that respect, and no ventilation or passage of bees occurs through this backing. The opening on the opposite edge of the body piece 8 is always open and is a small slot so that the mice do not fit through it. The base plate is easy to make in the required shape by casting, for example, from polystyrene plastic.

The planar portion 4, and especially the upper surface, of the base plate 1 is shown as a straight plane in the summer position (Figs. 3 and 4) and in the winter position, inverted, this surface being inclined towards the edges (Figs. 2 and 5). The inclined surface stiffens the bottom plate 1 and directs condensation water to the edges and out through the net 7 in the winter position.
