A production method for comb honey is provided, which comprises the following steps of: Step 1, making a comb frame comprising a comb honey mold and a rectangularly disposed rim, wherein several steel wires are disposed through the comb honey mold; Step 2, making a comb honey production box; Step 3, pressing a comb foundation on the steel wires in the comb honey mold; Step 4, placing several comb frames in the comb honey production box of Step 2 during the honey-secreting period; Step 5, opening a cover plate to check the comb foundation in 3-4 days after the completion of Step 4, removing a comb frame of which comb foundation has been deformed, and conducting covering with the cover plate; Step 6, opening the cover plate to check the covering situation of combs in 8-20 days after the completion of Step 5, and taking out comb frames if the covering is completed; Step 7, scraping beewax and propolis on the periphery of the comb honey mold to obtain a comb honey having the same shape as the comb honey mold. The present method can produce a comb honey unique in appearance, thus facilitating the increase in economic benefits.

A bee hive bottom board system for receiving a hive body includes a 3-sided rectangular frame having a right side, a left side and a rear side, each side having a top surface and an inner surface, the top surface defining a frame plane; a drain edge positioned within the frame about the inner surface, the drain edge having a top surface defining a drain edge plane set below the frame plane; and two adapters having a support component and a flange component, the flange component of each adapter positionable along the inner surface of one of the right side and left side of the frame and mateable with the upper surface of one of the right side and left side of the frame. When mated with the frame, a top surface of the adapter is substantially flush with the top surface of the frame.

Provided is a beehive apparatus. The beehive apparatus includes a securing mechanism for anchoring the beehive apparatus to a ground surface, a buoyancy component situated above the securing mechanism and for floating and rising with a water level, and a plurality of honey harvesting components positioned atop the buoyancy component. The storage components house bees and store honey above the water level.

A composite material for production of a beehive for apiculture use, and its manufacturing process. This composite material is made of cork and ligneous material, polymers, and optionally at least one of a fire retardant and UV protector. The percentage of polymer in the composite varies between 10% and 75% and the blend of the granulated cork with the ligneous material between 25% and 90%. The material to be used must have a particle size which permit its use in extrusion and injection production lines, because the molding of the beehives is made through one of these processes. The beehive is composed by stand (A), sidewalls (H), front and rear walls (I), inner cover (E) and outer cover (F), and can be assembled in three different ways: traditional, in ramp and in step.

A system ventilation and entrance adjustment for a beehive is provided. The system includes: a first panel comprising a first cutout and an entrance adjustment portion flanking the first cutout; and a second panel disposed rearward of the first panel and comprising a second cutout. The first panel is slidable relative to the second panel. In a closed configuration the entrance adjustment portion blocks the second cutout to prevent bees from passing through, and in an open configuration the entrance adjustment portion either does not block, or only partially blocks, the second cutout to allow bees to pass through. The first panel and the second panel each comprise ventilation means. In the closed configuration and in the open configuration the ventilation means of the first panel are arranged to at least partially overlap with the ventilation means of the second panel to allow air to flow through the system.

There is provided a hive body or a kit for assembling a hive body for use in a beehive enclosure, comprising: panels defining an interior space and an aperture configured to allow movement of the bees into the interior space; a brood chamber emplaced within the interior space, the brood chamber defining an internal cavity adapted for housing comb frames, and being displaceable between a stored position within the interior space and an inspection position when said brood chamber is displaced outwards from within the interior space to permit a beekeeper access to internal cavity of the brood chamber; and a rear door moveable between a closed position to an open position which enables the brood chamber to be moved into the inspection position where the beekeeper can have access to internal cavity of the brood chamber to maintain the bees.
