The group of inventions relates to beekeeping. A method is proposed to prevent honey bees from escaping the hive by cooling the air near the entrance to a temperature below 14° C. An appliance to prevent bees from escaping the hive consists of placed directly near the hive entrance a Peltier thermoelectric module with radiators that due to connection to a source of electricity can cool the air near the entrance to temperatures below 14° C. The inventions can be used to prevent honey bees from escaping the hive by the chemical tillage of crops or transportation and can improve the temperature conditions for the existence of bee colonies.

A splitable honeycomb comprising: a first comb portion and a second comb portion comprising a first series of cell portions and a corresponding second series of cell portions respectively, said first and second cell portions defining a series of honeycomb cells therebetween, the first comb portion and the second comb portion being moveable relative to each other from a closed cell position to an open cell position, wherein mutually opposed edges of said cells are non-contiguous in the closed cell position to thereby avoid catching a limb of a bee.

The present disclosure relates to the field of artificial honeycombs, in particular to an artificial nest for solitary bees and an application method of the artificial nest. The artificial nest comprises a main enclosure tube, hanging rings, a plurality of trapping hollow tubes and tightening mechanisms used for clamping the trapping hollow tubes. The hanging rings are arranged at an outer sidewall of the main enclosure tube. The tightening mechanisms are annularly arranged at an inner sidewall of the main enclosure tube, and the trapping hollow tubes are fixed in a ring of each tightening mechanism in an axis direction of the main enclosure tube. Each tightening mechanism comprises a connecting steel wire and fastening springs. The sidewall of the main enclosure tube is provided with fixing holes for fixing the tightening mechanisms.

Disclosed is a vaporizer adapter device for a beekeeping device. The adapter device includes an adapter body (e.g., a flat plate) having at least one hive engagement feature (e.g., side edges of the plate); at least one manipulation feature (e.g., a lip for gripping a front of the plate); and a recess for providing a reservoir (e.g., a space for the hot acid vapor to gather) below the hive, the reservoir being open to an interior of the hive, the recess including a port (e.g., a through hole) configured to accommodate a vaporizer output (e.g., a tube) of a vaporizer.

The invention comprises a beeswax analogue composition which enables the efficient replacement thereof, for beekeeping and any industries that normally use it in their production processes and products, based on a harmless natural organic mixture free of contamination having chemical and physical aspects similar or equal to said wax, which comprises: Fine crystal wax, known as microcrystalline wax, with a high percentage of hydrocarbon, branched, isoparaffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons. Macrocrystalline wax made of non-branched alkanes of non-fine crystals. Organic resin. Organic pigment to determine the colour, distinguishing region, place and factory batch. (Published in a timely manner, to prevent falsifications). The method of preparation comprises the following steps, tools and actions: Proportional weighing of components. Verification of asepsis of machines and tools. Pouring of components into a steam-jacketed shell boiler in order for hot gases to simultaneously transfer heat to the entire mixture coming from an industrial burner with cross-over to medium or high-pressure liquefied gas. Upon verifying the total liquefaction of the components, it can be observed that from that moment the mixture reaches a temperature equal to or greater than 140° C. After waiting for 1 to 10 minutes, the energy (burner) is turned off and the mixture emptied into moulds for cooling. Once the equipment is hot after the first batch has been produced, it takes 25 to 35 minutes to obtain a liquefied product from the raw material for the second and subsequent batches, followed by 1 to 10 minutes at 140° to obtain a balanced product. Its use replaces beeswax in beekeeping and also for storing honey and pollen.

A mobile indoor controlled apiary system includes a mobile foundation, a plurality of insulated panels configured for modular assembly to form a structural envelope on top of the mobile foundation, and a removable shell configured for covering the structural envelope. The system further includes a data collection system for gathering environmental data within the structural envelope, and a climate control system configured for regulating environmental conditions within the structural envelope.
