A beehive assembly has a column of hive bodies which are releasably connected to a sheet metal spine of a sleeve which encircles a post mounted to the ground. The sleeve has a rack which engages a pinion mounted to the post with a handle which rotates the pinion and moves the sleeve and attached beehive vertically. A latching pawl is selectively released by a foot pedal mounted to the post. By turning the crank the column of hive bodies is caused to ascend into an operating position where the bee colony within the hive bodies is elevated above the ground, or is lowered to be accessible by a beekeeper.

A modular housing structure for solitary bees, having a core partially enclosed within a housing with an opening on one side. The core has an exposed side facing the opening on the housing and one or more recesses formed on the exposed side of the core. The core may be solid and integrally formed with the housing or may be made up of a plurality of wafers stacked on top of one another.

An artificial beehive includes at least one artificial hive chamber for storing a bee colony and/or honey produced by a bee colony; with at least one removable frame stored in the hive chamber, the frame serving as a supporting base for the production of a honeycomb, and being removable from the hive chamber for extraction of honey from the honeycomb; and at least one cover that closes the hive chamber from an external environment. The hive chamber includes at least one interior surface having grooves extending therealong, the grooves having a depth of between about 1 mm and about 6 mm, and arranged in a predetermined and repeatable pattern.
