2021年3月9日 · Solid, bee-tight hive equipment is necessary because any secondary openings will be eagerly sought by bees to avoid passing through the pollen trap grid. Two pollen trap designs are described. Both designs use the same principle of removing pollen from the bees but differ greatly in all other features and in method of mounting on the hive.

2018年11月12日 · Do not use 3 level AŽ hives if you are not familliar with AŽ hives, standard is 9 rams 2lvl hive. I do perfer 11+3 over standard hives. This mean 2lvl 11 ram hive which can be increased in each level for about 3 rams from 22 rams to 28 (or any in between) when needed (3lvl hive has 27 rams).

2016年7月26日 · Of course, you aren't going to move a 4 foot long hive easily, and I don't plan to. The hive alone is about 100+ lbs. I made it with really thick old redwood that was scrap from a retaining wall. So, I don't think its the ideal hive for producing honey, but if you run several hives, I think its an ideal hive for supporting your apiary.

2014年4月9日 · But that's okay for hobbyists like me. We're always looking for an excuse to get into the hives. A great advantage of the long hive is that it's so easy to inspect, even when the hive has grown to the equivalent of three deeps. No lifting boxes, no breaking up the hive into separate parts, which I feel must stress the bees.

2023年5月22日 · I have just finished building a horizontal hive from the free plans of Frederick Dunn ( Bee Hive Prints based on Frederick Dunns modifications) built from all 2x lumber for insulation. Needless to say, this hive is a HEAVY beast and I estimate over 200-250 pounds.

2016年2月24日 · The photos below are of my WBC (W.B.C. = William Broughton Carr) double walled hive adapted to accept 12 medium Pierco frames. The hive was built using the Langstroth 10-frame plans posted on this Beesource.com website with modifications for dimensions and 3/4" lumber. Steve Moye Mount Olive, NC [email protected]

2016年12月31日 · Re: please review our plans for an observation hive I had an ob hive once with about 3 feet of clear silicon tube that needed to go up.about 2 feet to the entrance. I started with 1" tube and found the bees kept getting into traffic jams in the vertical section.

2015年7月28日 · Staple it in front of the hive entrance as shown in the photo so that the bees have to make a 90 degree turn at either side of the opening to exit/enter the hive. Robber screens are the most effective when they are in place long before any robbing starts so that the resident population gets used to using them and any robbers are confused by them.

2018年9月22日 · STLs are fine with a CNC router if you want to cut "3D" projects...I made a few grand this year doing just that for an architectural client this year already...but I absolutely agree with you that for bee-hive related CNC machining, 2D vectors are pretty much what are required for most CNC routers that would be used for this purpose.
