UA91765C2 - Petrov's microapiary - Google Patents

Abstract

The proposed microapiary comprises a bottom, on which several beehives with honeycomb are installed, on each of them a roof is installed. On the bottom a rectangular in cross section housing of base is installed, in each outer wall of which an opening is made with an outer damper and two entrances - main and lateral. Inside the base housing four partitions are installed, which in combination with outer walls of the base housing form four rectangular in cross section lower parts of the beehives, which two walls are the walls of the base housing, on one of which the main entrance is located and on another - lateral one, and two other walls are partitions. Each partition in adjacent lower parts of beehives is for one of the lower part of beehive a long internal side and for another adjacent lower part - a short internal side. The long internal sides of each lower part of the beehives in the center of the base housing form a square in cross section central hollow closed by a cover. Also in the base housing in parallel to the bottom in each of the lower parts of beehives a removable floor with the opening and damper is installed. The removable floor in each of the lower parts of beehives from the side of main entrance is made with a ramp. In the partitions lower than the level of removable floor openings are made which are closed by dampers. The upper parts of beehives are rectangular in cross section shallow honey chambers closed by covers with vent holes located on one axis with the main entrances on the base housing. The shallow honey chambers are installed with gap to each other and honeycomb therein are located in parallel to the honeycomb in the lower part of beehive located in the base housing, where number thereof exceeds the number of honeycomb in the shallow honey chamber. The lower parts of beehives not closed by shallow honey chambers are provided for intermediate covers.
