SU15249A1 - Frame hive - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to well-known frame beehives, in which the upper and lower branches are used for bees, side shops and ventilation is carried out by means of two openings — bottom and top of the ul.

In the proposed two-hole hive by installing a movable board covering the upper of the openings, in order to create an narrow space between the movable board and the wall of the narrow space, it is proposed to regulate the air flow by lowering or lifting the said board.

The drawing depicts a schematic longitudinal section of the ul.

The frame hive is a quadrangular plank box with slot 1 and two attachment magazines 2 and 3 inserted into it. From the top, the hive is closed tightly nailed with a shed roof 4, and the bottom floor has a loop 5. The front wall is a wooden shield 6, the rear shield 7, and between slot 1 and the shops 2 and 3 are walls 8 and 11 with slots for the passage of bees. Between the roof 4 and the front wall b, as well as between the bottom 5 and the rear wall 7, in the form of slots in the entire width of the ul, two gates are arranged for the arrival of the bees: the upper 9 and the lower 10. Parallel to the front

The wall is attached with a movable, fixed with a wedge, board A, abutting protruding ends of the roof and lateral longitudinal walls and forming an ultimately narrow space between itself and the front wall for the entire height, sufficient for the bees to pass. Board A is pressed against the front ends of the side walls of the roof by a bar that is not indicated in the drawing, which is connected to the side walls by bolts. On the one hand, and the board L, on the other hand, a canvas layer is laid between the ends of the walls and the roof, for better heat retention. A folding sun board is installed for the arrival of the bees. The dotted line in the drawing indicates the path for the bees to the upper and lower entrance.

According to the inventor, with the help of the movable board A it is supposed to achieve regulation of the air flow into the hive. When this board is raised so much, the lower edge of the board is flush with the upper notch, the air flow is strongest, and as the board goes down, the pulling force will gradually weaken and completely cease when the bottom of the board coincides with the level bottom entry The uniformity of air movement throughout the hive is achieved by the fact that the notch length is equal to the width of the ul.

The use of a movable board does not impede the arrival of bees, since the board does not block the passage to the upper entrance.

The subject of the patent.

Frame hive with two tap holes - upper and lower, characterized by

by the fact that the upper leaflet is closed by a movable board L, in order to form between the latter and the wall of the ul a narrow space the entire length of the ul serving to regulate the air flow by lowering or raising the board A.
