A system for moving a beehive. The system includes a hive enclosure for housing a bee colony with a hive entrance to the hive enclosure. An insect detector is configured to identify undesirable insects attempting to access the hive enclosure. A door is configured to exclude the undesirable insects detected by the insect detector from passing through the hive entrance. An autonomous vehicle is coupled to the hive enclosure and is configured to automatically move the hive enclosure from a first location to a second location.

A package and system for holding and transporting small living beings, particularly, insects such as honeybees and the like, configurable in a robust, sturdy three-dimensional shape for handling and transport by mail and commercial carriers, which prevents stinging from within the package, allows escape of smaller accompanying insects such as hive beetles, is interlocking with others of the packages and strong enough to support other packages and items thereon; that provides for air flow through and about the package for heat dissipation for proper honeybee environment; that accommodates food and separately carrying a queen bee; and that can be easily and quickly broken down into a non-operational, generally flat configuration for initial sale, transport, and storage.

The present invention relates to a grid ring brood comb frame for cylindrical brood chamber hives, which has a brood comb frame (20) carrying the comb (6), and the brood comb frame (20) is supplied with connection bodies (40) for connection to the rotating structure. The characteristic feature of the invention is that a grid ring (30) is located at least partially running around the external shell surface (21) of the brood comb frame (20) carrying the comb (6) opposite to the comb (6), where the brood comb frame (20) and the grid ring (30) are connected to each other via connection sections (31), the grid ring (30) is supplied with a first edge (32) extending beyond the longitudinal external plane (S) resting on the first side surface (22) of the brood comb frame (20), the height (M) of the first edge (32) measured from the longitudinal external plane (S) of the brood comb frame (20) is between 18 mm, furthermore the connection sections (31) between the brood comb frame (20) and the grid ring (30) are interrupted by one or more bee spaces (34), where the radial dimension of the bee space (34) is between 425 mm.

Embodiments herein disclose a beehive system for high honey production. The beehive system includes a common brood box arranged between a first brood box and a second brood box. A first lid slot assembly is arranged between the common brood box and the first brood box. A second lid slot assembly is arranged between the common brood box and the second brood box. The common brood box, the first brood box and the second brood box are arranged parallel to each other. A bottom side of the first brood box, a bottom side of the second brood box and a bottom side of the common brood box are located in a same plane.

A Honeybee Swarm Trap to provide an inexpensive but sturdy bee box for keeping bees that is flexible in its application. To propagate beehives a beekeeper commonly uses a swarm catcher. These swarm catchers are placed near existing beehives, typically those naturally occurring, a swarm trap may be placed near the location of original beehive. Scout bees can visit the swarm trap and assess the trap for a swarm or propagated swarm to take up residence. Once the honeybee swarm take up residence in the swarm trap, the beekeeper can move the swarm to another location to house the honeybee colony.

A system and method for transporting bees allows live bees, in hibernation, to be exported by sea. The system has a packaging device having a box with a funnel through which the bees fall and are collected, a transport box having a body, a cover of the same geometry and larger than the body to cover the side walls and top of the body, ventilation openings arranged in two of the side walls, and at least one floor arranged to cover a lower part of the body. The body is where bees are collected and a feeder is located at an opening of the body and contains gelled food. An interior space houses the bees and allows them to feed from the perimeter of the feeder, where the gelatinized food is located, and at least one refrigerated container where the transport boxes, previously palletized, are arranged for maritime transport.
