Description

The utility model relates to beekeeping. In particular, to hive structures.

The famous hive A.P. Ozerov for two-uterine bee keeping, which can be selected as a prototype.

The dual-uterine maintenance of bee colonies is such a content when during all the active season the bees from the brood nest of one uterus through two dividing lattices have access to the brood nest of the other uterus through the common parts of the hive - the hull or extension, uniting the brood nests of two uterus into a single family. The advantage of two-uterine content over one-mother is the following: The first is a twin wintering, in which the feed and vitality of the bees are saved. The second is the possibility, at lower costs, to maintain the necessary thermal regime in the nest in spring and to grow more brood, as a result of which families develop faster. Third, the creation of strong families by combining the brood nests of two queen bees into a single bee family. It is known that strong families spend less feed and vital energy per unit of bees grown. Bees of strong families are less susceptible to diseases, they fly further for a bribe.

Strong families release a higher percentage of bees from the total number of bees in the hive for a bribe (http://www.airbees.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3551).

The Ozerov hive consists of three separate buildings and two half-frame extensions. The housings, extensions and noluramka are set on top of each other and closed by a removable roof. The hive is equipped with a ventilation compartment with a tick stand. The lower case is divided into two compartments by a removable perforated partition. Each compartment has upper and lower slots and can accommodate six to eight frames or half frames. The second building consists of two halves, each of which has a side and front notch. The third building is the whole. One of the extensions is made in the form of the second building, and the second - in the form of the third building, but with a removable partition, as in the lower case. The ventilation compartment and cover contain ventilation slots.

The disadvantages of the hive are that the hive is composed of separate assembly units: three buildings, two extensions, half frames, roofs. This design makes the hive heavier, takes up a lot of space and is inconvenient in transportation. To access the frames of the lower case you have to remove the assembly units standing on it. The number of slots and ventilation slots is not enough to ensure optimal thermal conditions of the hive.

The technical problem, solved with the help of this utility model, is aimed at creating a four-uterine hive, contributing to the union of four brood nests and four queens into a single, strong bee family.

The technical solution is achieved in that the outer hive body is integral and includes two lower and two upper brood nests located one above the other. In each brood nest in four tiers are installed retractable buildings. Each case contains a metal frame in which frames or half frames are installed. In this case, the sliding bodies installed in horizontal and vertical adjacent brood nests can be separated from each other by removable blind or lattice or mesh partitions. Brood nests are equipped with doors. In the outer casing opposite each pull-out casing, two doors are made with silt and ibers.

The design of the hive is shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 1 shows the hive housing on the front side.

In FIG. 2 shows a general view of the hive.

In FIG. 3 shows the design of a retractable housing.

In FIG. 4 shows a partition with a grate.

The hive is assembled in a one-piece outer case 1. In the outer case, two lower 2-3 and two upper 4-5 brood nests (IWG and IWG) are placed. Each brood nest contains three retractable hulls 6 (first-third tier) and one retractable half-hull 7 (fourth tier) mounted on top of each other in four tiers. Hulls and half-bodies differ from each other only in the size of the frames with which they are equipped. The hulls are equipped with frames, and the half-hulls are half-frames. Each extendable housing and half-housing includes a metal frame 8, in which frames or half-frames are installed 9. The proposed design of the hive in 4 brood nests contains 12 buildings with frames and 4 half-cases with half-frames. That is, each case contains eight frames. Under the lower brood nests 2 and 3, there is a ventilation compartment with removable tongs 10. The ventilation compartment by means of a partition 11 is divided into two compartments. The partition 10 is equipped with two grids 12. The sizes of the mesh cells and the distance between them are selected so that the bees cannot pass through them from one compartment to another, and that the bees from adjacent compartments cannot sting each other (the distance between the grids exceeds the length of the sting) . At the same time, odors from one compartment through the nets can freely penetrate into the adjacent compartment and spread further upwards through the mesh and trellis partitions into all brood nests, mixing with each other and creating a single atmosphere. The partition 11, if necessary, can be changed to blank (without meshes, perforations, or gratings). Cases 6 and half-shells 7 extend along the rails 13. For ease of removal of the housing, the metal frame 8 is provided with a folding handle 14. The lower brood nests 2 and 3 are horizontally separated from the upper brood nests 4 and 5 by extractable vertical partitions 15, 16 and 17. Partitions 15 (mesh partitions) are equipped with double nets like nets 12. Partitions 16 (lattice partitions) are equipped with double gratings 18, through the slits of which bees can pass from one brood nest to another. The septum 17 is deaf, and serves to prevent the migration of bees from one brood nest to another. Partitions 15-17 are vertical and horizontal. If necessary, a blank partition can be exchanged for a mesh, or trellised partition. Cases of the third and fourth tiers, located in the AWG, are separated from the cavity of their brood nests by blind removable partitions 19 and 20. During the technological process of collecting honey, the blind partition is changed to a lattice or mesh partition. The half-shells of the 7 IWGs are equipped with lattice or blind walls from above and below. Brood nests are closed by doors 21. Each tier from the side of the wall of the hive 1, located on the side opposite to the doors 21 (from the back), is equipped with two slots 22 with gates (gates are not shown in the drawing). Gates are used to control the flow of air circulating in the hive, which is especially important when transporting the hive. The number of summers is increased to ensure unhindered passage into the hive of a large flow of bees and air.

The four uterine hive works as follows, following the sequence of certain technological operations:

- In the beginning of February, wintering bees are given 0.5 kg of candi for each bee colony for feeding. Kandy bees do not lay in their honeycombs, so there is a lot of room for laying eggs.

When all families feel crowded in the hive, (usually in mid-March) we expand the nest:

- From the first tier of the NWG to the second tier (previously empty, without frames), we raise one frame with the bee bread, brood and honey. Moreover, the frames are arranged in the following sequence, starting from the partition dividing the lower brood nests horizontally: first, set the frame with the bee bread, behind it the frame with brood, then the frame with land and honey. We take the frame with sushi from the reserve.

- Instead of the raised three frames, in the first tier of the NWG we put three frames with land, alternating them with frames with brood.

- On the second tier of the NWG, next to the four frames raised from the first tier, we put a vertical blind partition 15 to prevent the bees from moving into the empty space to the left of the transferred frames. We put 0.5 kg into this empty space. Candy. On kandy we put a canvas and an insulating pillow on top.

- Above these four frames we install a horizontal blank partition 19, and on it a warming pad.

- After 10-15 days, as the bees master these four frames, from the first tier to the second we raise another 2 frames with brood, one honey-perg frame and one frame with sushi, and instead of them in the first tier we install three frames with sushi (from the stock) . In this case, the frame with the feathers is set extreme. Thus, we fill the second tier with eight frames. The remaining brood nests are also being mastered.

- After 20-25 days, when families feel cramped, we raise six frames from the second tier of the NWG to the third tier (which was previously empty), leaving two frames with brood on the second tier. We supplement the third tier with two frames with a perga taken from the first tier. The third tier is filled with eight frames.

- From the first tier to the second, we raise two frames with a honey percent and put them along the edges. If there is a supporting bribe, then in the second tier we put another 2 frames with wax and two frames with sushi from the reserve. The second tier is equipped with up to eight frames.

- Fill the first tier. To do this, we supplement the tier with two frames with wax and two frames with sushi from the reserve and put them mixed in the center.

- We put lattice partitions over the third tier of each brood nest 16. We remove blind vertical partitions 15 and 16 between the half-shells (fourth tier) of horizontally adjacent brood nests and partitions between horizontally adjacent first tier buildings. Instead, we install lattice partitions.

In this case, bees from two IWGs can pass to each other through horizontal and vertical trellised partitions 16. Also in the IWG. Bees do not kill the queens of the neighboring brood nest, because after passing through two lattices, they treat the alien uterus as if they were their own. If all families feel cramped until mid-April, then in the fourth tier we put four half-frames with land or four half-frames with wax.

In late April, we begin preparing families for the first major bribe. For this:

- We remove the retractable half-hull of the fourth tier in the NWG. The remaining bees are driven away. From below on the lattice partitions we put blind partitions 19. The result is an isolated empty space.

- On lattice partitions 19 we place lattice partitions 16. It turns out that the fourth tier is separated from above and below by a partition with a lattice and a blind partition.

- In the AWG we are rearranging the frames. From the first tier we raise two frames with a feather in the third tier and put along the edges, and transfer two frames with a closed brood from the third tier to the first tier.

- In the AWG between the second and third tiers we put a blank partition 19.

- In the VRG, we seek the uterus and move them to the third tier of the same brood nest. We do the same in the NWG. It turns out layering in the third and fourth tiers of the AWG.

- We remove the buildings with half-frames (4th tier) of the NWG and shake the bees from them outside the hive and return them to their place. We put deaf horizontal partitions and return the half-shell to their places. There should not be a single bee in the half-shells.

- We remove the blind partitions above and below the fourth tier of the NWG. Only the partitions with gratings remain.

So we get layering in the buildings of the third and fourth tiers of the AWG. The hulls of the first and second tiers of both AWGs are left without queens. The bees in these cases, not finding the queen bees, immediately begin to lay fistulous queen cells, although they have a connection through the double lattices to the uterus of the IWG. This must be done 6-7 days before the main bribe.

- At the beginning of the main bribe, we destroy all fistulous queen cells. Orphaned bees in the buildings of the first and second tier of the AWG have no other way out than to connect with the families of the IWG. It turns out that in two IWGs six buildings are used as the brood part, and the half-hulls of the fourth tier of the IWGs and the bodies of the first and second tier of the AWGs are used as honey bodies. The role of the lay, which is in the AWG, is to reinforce the main families of the NWG by transferring brood from the lay to the main families. Thus, it is possible to maintain a stable level of viability of the main families of the NWG for the entire season of medical care.
