Description

The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to nomadic beekeeping, and is intended for year-round maintenance of bee colonies.

The famous mobile pavilion described in the book of Tatarenko V.R., Tenzer B.I. Efficient beekeeping, which uses a tractor trailer as a running gear. This circumstance not only reduces the speed of the apiary, which in turn increases the degree of steaming of the bee colonies, but also limits the overall dimensions of the pavilion and, accordingly, the apiary.

A mobile pavilion for keeping bees year-round is also known, including a pavilion mounted on the chassis with letches on its side walls, with adjacent sections for bees installed along its side walls, divided into beehives, in which there are retractable cassettes with honeycombs, pallets and electric heaters with ventilation ducts, taken as a prototype (ed. St. USSR, No. 1417854, class A 01 K 47/00, 1986).

The device has several disadvantages:

- irrational use of space inside the pavilion;

- insufficient safety of bee individuals when serving bee colonies;

- irrational use of material for the manufacture of the pavilion;

- not using a neighboring effect on the state of bee colonies adjacent to each other by the side common walls of the hives.

The technical solution to the problem is to increase honey collection due to the safety of bee family members during maintenance, to improve the conditions for keeping bees, to create optimal microclimate conditions for the development of bee families and to facilitate their care.

The task is achieved in that the pavilion for year-round keeping of bees, including a pavilion mounted on the chassis with letches on its side walls, with adjacent sections for bees installed along the side walls, divided into beehives, in which there are retractable cassettes with frames, pallets and electric heaters with ventilation ducts, has a hinged three-sided tray for beehives, cells, which are equipped with rails located at different levels, providing the possibility of installing in two tiers extendable x tapes made in the form of horizontal frames sotoramok, wherein the lateral sides of the pallet are guides and height guides enabling a pairing-hives cells and pallet.

The device for year-round keeping of bees contains a pavilion 1 with notches 2 on the side walls with adjacent beehive sections 3 installed along its side walls and divided into beehives 4 (Fig. 1), in which there are retractable cartridges in the form of horizontal frames 5 (Fig. 2 ) for honeycombs 6. The device has a three-sided pallet 7 (figure 3) for hives-cells 4, which are equipped with guides 8 located at different levels, for example two, for installation in two tiers of retractable horizontal frames 5 with honeycombs 6. Lateral sides 9 pallets 7 have t guides 10 and are made with a height that provides a pair of guides 8 and 10 of the hive cells 4 and the pallet 7. For storing beekeeping stock and equipment there are two special drawers located under the pavilion, one on the side 11, the other on the back 12. The pavilion frame, the lightweight one is made from a corner of 5 × 5 mm, a 70 mm beam is fixed around the perimeter, in those places where the holes should be drilled according to the scheme. The voids between the beam are filled with 70 mm foam, then the fiberboard walls are sheathed around the perimeter from the outside and inside. The outer side is sheathed with galvanized iron 0.55 mm.

The roof of the pavilion is made with a trimmed board of 20 mm, then the board is covered with roofing material and 0.55 mm galvanized iron on top of it. In the roof of the working compartment of the pavilion there are two outward opening hatch 13. Inside the pavilion is divided by a partition with a door into two production 14 and residential 15 blocks. The residential block has a bed 16, a table 17, shelves 18, two windows barred with metal mesh and clothes hangers. The production unit consists of solid-assembled hive sections 3, rigidly attached to the floor and walls of the pavilion, divided in turn into 18 hives-cells 4. The hive sections 3 are made in the form of solid cabinets with opening rear walls-covers of the hive-cell 4, inside the pavilion. The hive cell 4, in turn, is configured to be installed in two tiers of 12 frames (figure 2). Every 12 frames are placed in a retractable horizontal frame 5. The internal dimensions of this frame 5 make it possible to place the honeycomb 6 in it, both on a warm and a cold "skid". The bottom of the hive is retractable. It extends into the pavilion. Between the lower slats of the frames and the bottom, a removable anti-varroatosis mesh is installed.

To facilitate the work with retractable cassettes with frames 5, a three-sided pallet 7 was used (Fig. 3), which is suitable for all hive cells 4.

The pallet 7 is operated as follows, it is hung on specially screwed screws at the ends of the walls of the hives in the hive sections 3. The pallet 7 is made so that the guides 8 of the hive cell 4, along which the frames 5 with the honeycombs 6 extend, are located at the same level with the guides 10 Pallet 7. The dimensions of this pallet allow you to pull out the frame 5 completely and work with the bee colony, as in a regular hive.

In the side walls of the pavilion there are two notches in front of each hive 2. Each hive-cell 4 has clear dimensions on the outside and is painted in alternating colors distinguished by bees, and they also depict various figures for better orientation.

The pavilion is equipped with electrical wiring, which includes a flashlight, a switch and two sockets, and in the production block 14 two sockets and two lights. Below the middle part of the wall-covers of the hives-cells there are two round holes with a diameter of 25 mm, which go into the inside of the pavilion. They serve for ventilation of nests in the autumn-winter period and are closed with a metal mesh.

The use of hive sections made of 20 mm boards has a beneficial effect on maintaining the microclimate between families, since such hive cells have common side walls. This is especially important in the autumn-winter and spring-winter period. Another important point of this design of the hive sections is material saving due to the fact that the side walls of adjacent hive cells are common.

Thus, this invention can significantly increase honey collection due to the safety of individuals of the bee family during maintenance, reduce labor costs for the manufacture of a mobile pavilion and save material, improve the relationship between families due to the common wall between the hive cells, which ensures high investment efficiency in manufacturing and operation of this mobile pavilion.
