Through the years honeycomb frames have been pulled from the hive during inspection and placed on a frame perch available from a supplier. This frame perch is directly attached to the hive body that is being inspected. If the beekeeper does not have a perch the honeycomb frame is placed on the ground. Neither of these methods is practical for the hobby beekeeper with two or more hives. Our invention aids the beekeeper by providing a convenient place to temporarily hold honey frames that are being inspected without the hassle of moving the frame perch from one hive to another. Our frame holder would be located to the rear of the hive in order service multiple hives.

A beehive according to this disclosure includes a plurality of modular sections that are configured to be positioned adjacent to one another in a manner that enables simplified, even automated, extraction of honey. Such a beehive may include, or even consist essentially of, a plurality of interchangeable rings, or plates, that are configured to be stacked relative to one another in an assembled relationship, and to be secured together in the assembled relationship. In some embodiments, a beehive may consist of a plurality of rings and a mechanism for securing the rings in an assembled relationship (e.g., tie rods, etc.).

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.

Disclosed is a new beekeeping-related structure of a honeycomb frame to be emptied while inside a beehive box of a beehive, which enables the honeycomb to be conveniently opened by an opening mechanism to draining position, i.e., to honey extraction position, and thus also to drain it very quickly from honey.

A vented beetle trap configured to be mounted inside a bee hive to catch and detain hive beetles. When hive beetles are discovered in a hive, the bees instinctively herd them into a corner and keep them there. When a vented beetle trap is installed inside a bee hive, the bees quickly learn to herd the hive beetles into the trap where the beetles can pass through a via tube through the hive wall and into a detainment tank mounted outside the hive.
