Method for making ten-grid beehives of Chinese bees

1. Nest box: it is a cuboid with 20mm wall thickness, with an inner circumference of 440mm, a width of 370mm and a height of 270 mm.. The box can hold 10 nested frames. A shallow groove with a width of 1.2 mm and a depth of 2 mm is opened in the center of the inner surface of the front and rear walls for inserting the isolation plate. During the breeding season in spring and autumn, two kings can be used to breed in the same box. There are 3 ~ 5 round holes at the rear and lower parts of the two side walls for the queen bee to fly out after mating. There are two iron screen windows (1 6 or 18 mesh iron net) with a width of 75 mm and a height of i 1 0 mm on the upper part of the rear wall, and there are two wooden boards with a width of 100 mm outside for opening and closing. Add a protective frame around the whole box. The battens of the frame are 20mm wide and 25mm high. The lower edge of the front wall has two notches with a length of 120mm and a height of 25mm, and a door baffle with a length of 380mm, a height of 50mm and a thickness of 15mm is inserted in front of it. One side of the baffle is provided with six round hole nest doors with a diameter of10 mm; On the other side, there are two tongue-shaped nests with a length of 60 mm and a height of 10 mm; Tongue-shaped nest door for breeding season. In the honey season, the baffle of the nest door is removed and the gap along the lower edge of the front wall is directly used as the nest door; In the season when honey sources are scarce, use the round nest door to guard against bees. The same nest door baffle can be used in different seasons. Moreover, the baffle of the nest door can be pulled out at any time, which is convenient for cleaning the broken wax and nest insects at the bottom of the box.

2. Nest frame: the periphery is 456 mm long (including two frame ears, each with a length of 18 mm) and the height is 250 mm. The upper beam is 456 mm long, 25 mm wide and 20 mm thick. The strips on both sides are 240mm long, 25mm wide and 10mm thick. The lower beam is 400 mm long and 15 mm wide.

If the inner circumference of the nest frame is 400 mm and the height is 220 mm, the effective area of the spleen side of the nest is 88,000 square millimeters-based on the fact that there are about 1 243 nests per square decimeter on the front and back sides of the worker bee house in China (because the center distance between the two nests in the middle is 4.6 1mm, and the center distance between the two nests in Italy is 5.365,438+0). The queen bee lays eggs 1 000 every day and night, with a cycle of 20 days, and * * * can lay about 20,000 eggs. It can be seen that the queen bee only needs 1/5 nests to lay eggs, and 4/5 nests are too much for storing honey powder. Therefore, the use of this kind of hive often requires two kings to breed in the same box so as not to waste the nest room. There is no nest base groove in the inner abdomen of the upper beam to prevent the parasitism of nest insects. The thickness of the partition and isolation plate is 10 mm. The size of the partition plate is consistent with the external size of the nest frame. The size of the isolation plate is consistent with the inner circumference of the nest box.

3. Shallow relay box: Because the height-width ratio of the nest frame is 1: 1.8 1, considering the upward habit of China bees, a shallow relay box is designed on the ten-frame nest box. In early spring, double king can be used for breeding, and single king plus shallow stem can be used to collect honey or produce nest honey during the honey flow period. The four walls of the shallow relay box are 20 mm thick and rectangular, with an inner circumference of 440 mm, a width of 370 mm and a height of135 mm. The periphery of the shallow nest frame is 456 mm long, the ear length without two frames is 420 mm, the height is 125 mm, and the upper beam is 456' mm long, 25 mm wide and 15 mm thick.

Shallow relay boxes are generally used in the honey flow period (bees with too small colony potential can't use them), and the height is exactly half of the nest box. Two shallow relay boxes overlap, which is the same as the height of a nest box, so the nest frame of the nest box can be placed.

Chinese bee ten-frame standard

The thickness of the honeycomb box and the shallow suitcase is 20 mm, which is convenient for maintaining stable temperature and humidity conditions in the box. If the board is too thin, it will have a bad influence on the life of bees.

4. Box cover and auxiliary cover: the inner circumference of the box cover is 490 mm, the width is 420 mm, the height is 85 mm, and the thickness is 1.5 mm ... There are two tongue-shaped air holes on the sides of the box cover. The top plate of the box cover is covered with galvanized iron sheet or linoleum. There are two kinds of auxiliary covers: plate cover and iron mesh cover, which are the same size as the box. Some covers are divided into left and right pieces, and two kings are kept in one box, which is more convenient for operation and management. Generally, the plate cover is used in breeding period, and the gauze cover is used in honey flow period and rotation period.
