AUTOMATIC BEE SEPARATION DEVICE
The present invention relates to an automatic bee separation device, and more specifically, to an automatic bee separation device capable of automatically withdrawing a beehive accommodated in a bee box, performing bee separation at the same time, and when the bee separation is completed, inputting the beehive to the bee box. In the automatic bee separation device according to the present invention, since beehive withdrawal work and bee separation work are performed at the same time without requiring a worker to directly and manually withdraw the beehive from the bee box when the bee separation work or honey extraction work is performed after the bee separation work, a speed and efficiency of the work can be maximized in addition to an effect of reducing a labor cost. Therefore, as productivity increases, an effect of increasing income can be generated.
Fume board
Embodiments of a fume board are disclosed. In one embodiment, a fume board includes a fume board box, a blower, a repellant liner, and an air diverter. The fume board box has an upper panel and an open bottom face oppositely vertically disposed from the upper panel. The upper panel defines an air intake portal and an interior surface where the repellant liner is attached on the interior surface of the upper panel. The blower is configured to generate an air flow. The air diverter is connected to the blower through the air intake portal, wherein the air diverter is configured to redirect the air flow across the repellant liner. In this manner, the air flow can be provided with low air pressure but still more evenly capture the repellant volatized from the repellant liner to remove the bees from the honey super.

System for a Beehive
A system for delivery of a substance into a hive box of a beehive is provided. The hive box includes a wall and a plurality of comb support members mounted on the wall and the beehive has a bee space located adjacent to the comb support members, oriented in a plane substantially perpendicular to the wall. The system comprises at least one aperture aligned with the bee space and apparatus for insertion into and removal from the aperture. At least part of the apparatus is shaped to be received and held in the aperture. Apparatus for delivery of fluid into a hive box of a beehive is also provided, the hive box including a wall and a plurality of comb support members mounted on the wall, the apparatus comprising at least one opening aligned with the bee space, wherein the opening is smaller than a bee space in at least one direction.
Modular observational beehive system
A modular observational beehive system. The system includes a base including an elongated member, a pair of support legs, and a latch affixed to each support leg. A first and second hive module each include a pair of sidewalls, a pair of end walls, an upper wall, and a lower wall defining an interior volume adapted to support a hive frame therein. Openings in the end walls allow for the introduction or removal of bees feed, and honey. The first hive module and the second hive module each include a latch and a hook disposed on each sidewall. Using the latches and hooks, the first hive module is securable to the base, and the second hive module is securable to the top of the first hive module in a stacked configuration. The system can be utilized to provide a compact apiary with transparent sidewalls that allow for user observation.

Lawn mower Diverter/ Bee Guard or accessory warning device for diverting and saving honeybees and other endangered insects
A Lawn mower Diverter/Bee Guard or accessory warning device for diverting and saving honeybees and other endangered insects. The device components include a plate for removably securing the warning device to the mower deck; a manner for removably connecting and securing the plate to the deck; a warning emitter; and a way for securing a warning emitter to the plate. Alternative mechanical designs and light, sound, electro-magnetic force, and spray devices are shown as other embodiments. The warning device alerts the pollinating bees of the oncoming mower so the bees can survive by flying away and averting their demise by the mower. Alternative devices for warning are sound, light, smoke, spray, and Electro Magnetic force/pulse generators placed with the mowers.
