A frame for a beehive includes: a pair of opposite frame sidewalls extending across a width dimension of the frame, the frame having a length dimension extending between the opposite frame sidewalls; and a plurality of fixed first sections and a plurality of movable second sections laterally stacked between the frame sidewalls and configured for supporting a honeycomb. The first and second sections are oriented parallel with the frame sidewalls and alternately arranged along the length of the frame. Further, the second sections are laterally slidable relative to the first sections between an open position for release of honey from the honeycomb and a closed position for storage of honey.

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.).

Disclosed herein are embodiments and aspects of a bee hive that can include one or more of a hive body, a screen bottom board, and a cover(s). Rabbets can be formed in parallel side walls of the hive body, and the rabbets are configured to hold a top bar and configured to hold a frame. The screen bottom board is connected to the hive body and configured to allow mites to fall out of the bee hive while keeping bees inside the hive body, and sub-boards can be placed in the screen bottom to catch the mites. The covers can cover the top bars and/or frames in the hive body.

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.
