Beehive size and manufacture

The inner circumference of the Chinese bee's hive is about 44 cm, the width is 37 cm, the height is 27 cm, and the thickness of the board is about 2 cm. The boards are thicker in places with low temperature and thinner in places with warm climate. Make beehives in strict accordance with the method of staggered joints.

The wooden board at the bottom of the box is about 2 cm more near the long end of the nest door, which can be used as a rest platform to facilitate the bees to stay when they return to the nest. Open a nest door about two centimeters above the rest platform, and then make a matching nest Mense, that is, a piece of wood with the same size as the nest door, with small movable blocks at both ends. This small block of wood can be connected with the big block of wood with nails, and it should move freely.

In this way, the size of the honeycomb door can be adjusted freely, and the honeycomb door can be directly removed during the honey source period or when the escape prevention piece needs to be inserted. If the bee colony is weak, install a nest door and use a small nest door to enter, and you can selectively close one.

Then notice how the hive is made. The hive must be based on the size of the hive. In principle, it must be remembered that the hive is placed along the direction of the nest door, away from the bottom wall of the box. Place a beehive along the beehive door, which will be ventilated and convenient for bees to enter and leave the beehive door smoothly. If placed horizontally, it will affect the entry and exit of bees, and the communication between airflow and gauze cover will be poor.

The cross beam of the hive and the inner circumference of the hive are about two centimeters long, so that one centimeter at each end can be placed on the hive. The bottom beam is about three centimeters shorter than the inner circumference, so there will be a gap of about 1.5 cm at both ends. There should also be a distance of two or three centimeters between the beehive frame and the bottom of the beehive, so that the width of the beehive frame is about two centimeters smaller than the width of the inner circumference. Honeycomb beams should be strong, made of wood strips with a width of 2 cm and a thickness of 1 cm, and the bottom beam and width below can be made of small pieces of wood.
