An oxalic acid vaporizer has a modular configuration, having a dispensing module and a manually detachable heating module. This modular configuration allows the first heating module to be easily separated from the dispensing module and a substitute heating module attached to the dispensing module, thereby allowing for a very fast replacement of the heating module in the event there is a failure or overheating in the first heating module. The substitute heating module may be a duplicate of the first heating module or the substitute heating module may have a more powerful fan, be capable of greater heat, or it may be of the type having a proportional-integral-derivative controller for controlling temperature. The modular configuration provides for a continuous oxalic acid gas treatment of bee hives by allowing an operator to change out heating modules in a matter of seconds.

The present disclosure relates to the field of artificial honeycombs, in particular to an artificial nest for solitary bees and an application method of the artificial nest. The artificial nest comprises a main enclosure tube, hanging rings, a plurality of trapping hollow tubes and tightening mechanisms used for clamping the trapping hollow tubes. The hanging rings are arranged at an outer sidewall of the main enclosure tube. The tightening mechanisms are annularly arranged at an inner sidewall of the main enclosure tube, and the trapping hollow tubes are fixed in a ring of each tightening mechanism in an axis direction of the main enclosure tube. Each tightening mechanism comprises a connecting steel wire and fastening springs. The sidewall of the main enclosure tube is provided with fixing holes for fixing the tightening mechanisms.

Feeding bees a composition containing at least one oxidizing agent (e.g., peroxide), optionally also containing other components such as an oxidizing agent activator or a viscosifying agent, to treat against, reduce and/or limit the spread of bacterial, virus, and fungi infestation in bees and/or beehives.

Disclosed is a vaporizer adapter device for a beekeeping device. The adapter device includes an adapter body (e.g., a flat plate) having at least one hive engagement feature (e.g., side edges of the plate); at least one manipulation feature (e.g., a lip for gripping a front of the plate); and a recess for providing a reservoir (e.g., a space for the hot acid vapor to gather) below the hive, the reservoir being open to an interior of the hive, the recess including a port (e.g., a through hole) configured to accommodate a vaporizer output (e.g., a tube) of a vaporizer.

The invention comprises a beeswax analogue composition which enables the efficient replacement thereof, for beekeeping and any industries that normally use it in their production processes and products, based on a harmless natural organic mixture free of contamination having chemical and physical aspects similar or equal to said wax, which comprises: Fine crystal wax, known as microcrystalline wax, with a high percentage of hydrocarbon, branched, isoparaffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons. Macrocrystalline wax made of non-branched alkanes of non-fine crystals. Organic resin. Organic pigment to determine the colour, distinguishing region, place and factory batch. (Published in a timely manner, to prevent falsifications). The method of preparation comprises the following steps, tools and actions: Proportional weighing of components. Verification of asepsis of machines and tools. Pouring of components into a steam-jacketed shell boiler in order for hot gases to simultaneously transfer heat to the entire mixture coming from an industrial burner with cross-over to medium or high-pressure liquefied gas. Upon verifying the total liquefaction of the components, it can be observed that from that moment the mixture reaches a temperature equal to or greater than 140° C. After waiting for 1 to 10 minutes, the energy (burner) is turned off and the mixture emptied into moulds for cooling. Once the equipment is hot after the first batch has been produced, it takes 25 to 35 minutes to obtain a liquefied product from the raw material for the second and subsequent batches, followed by 1 to 10 minutes at 140° to obtain a balanced product. Its use replaces beeswax in beekeeping and also for storing honey and pollen.

A beehive system includes a processing system for monitoring and controlling a beehive. The beehive can include a bottom board, one or more boxes, and an outer cover. The one or more boxes can contain bees and bee materials, as well as various components and sensors for monitoring and controlling conditions in the beehive. The beehive can include one or more sensors for monitoring a corresponding one or more conditions inside the beehive, and one or more control elements for manipulating the one or more conditions inside the beehive.
