Disclosed are a bee comb and a beehive using the same. The present invention includes: a first unit comb including a first frame having a lattice shape and installed in a beehive, and a first unit comb foundation supported by the first frame and including a plurality of first unit holes storing honey; a second unit comb installed in the first frame to be able to be slid, and including a second unit comb foundation including a plurality of second unit holes storing honey in a second frame; and a combination unit forming the first and second unit holes into one single hole by attaching the first and second unit combs, and enabling the honey stored in the first and second holes to flow when the first and second frames are relatively moved. As such, the present invention is capable of protecting bees from infectious diseases.

A method, system, and computer program product for automated beehive control and management. Information related to a content of a beehive is acquired by at least one sensor. The information from the at least one sensor is received and analyzed to determine at least one attribute of at least one substance monitored in the content. Based on the at least one attribute, at least one actuator of the beehive is instructed to maneuver at least one mechanical component affecting at least a portion of an internal environment of the beehive.

A method and system for protecting apiaries by means of thermal and moisture membranes. The invention being comprised of one-piece, rigid, yet foldable, modular units. Said thermal and moisture membranes being configured in such a manner as to keep a hive dry, insulate a hive in cold climates and reflect radiant heat back into a hive. Conversely, said membrane also moderating heat in the summer by reflecting thermal radiation. The membranes also minimizing the growth of pathogens and bacteria within a hive. An object of the invention being to promote the health of anthophila broods therein.

The present disclosure provides a novel queen monitoring cage system comprising a housing having a plurality of holes to provide ventilation, at least one egg laying plate, serving as an inner wall of the cage. The egg laying plate includes a plurality of hexagonal cells, and one or more ports to allow materials to be added to the housing. Additional embodiments of the system provides a removable drawer for the insertion and removal of bees, and inserts to prevent escape of bees while egg laying plates are added and removed. Experimental results show that the queen monitoring cage can be used to study queen egg laying behavior under laboratory controlled conditions.

A hexagonal beehive includes a hive body having a hexagonal cross-section. The hive body has a front, a back, a top half, and a bottom half and defines an open interior. The front has a landing deck and defines an entrance opening above the landing deck. The bottom and rear have sealable vent portions. The beehive includes hexagonal frame members having outer peripheries that are sized and shaped to be positionable within the open interior. Each frame member has an outer frame having a first thickness and an inner frame having a smaller second thickness such that the inner frames of adjacent frame members are spaced apart from one another. Each hexagonal frame member includes a plurality of access channels. Each inner frame defines a central opening. The beehive further includes a base.

The Vertical Frame Orientation Bee Container is unique in that it allows for positioning of Langstroth bee hive frames in said container in the vertical frame position and allows access to said frames without removal of any hive body or super above, or requiring movement of the container (excluding covers) on any axis, with the best embodiment having dimensions that allow it to be used interchangeably with Langstroth type hive bodies, supers, compatible hives, and most devices for Langstroth hives. It also adds features that are designed to allow for ease in separating propolized components from each other while limiting any damage to the container constituents.
