Abstract

Usage: in beekeeping to regulate the thermal regime in a bee hive. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: Horizontal ventilation openings located below the level of a notch are made in the side walls of the hives. A system of vertical and horizontal channels is made in the side walls of the hull and roof. Ventilation ducts connected with vertical ducts are also provided in the roof of the ul. Air from the environment enters 8 hives through horizontal channels, and exhaust air is removed through the channel outlets at various levels along the height of the housing. The entire ventilation system is located on one plane. 5 ill.

Description

The invention relates to beekeeping.

It is an object of the invention to provide thermal regulation in a bee nest.

Figure 1 shows the beehive, a General view; Fig. 2 is a beehive with a roof removed, top view; Fig. 3-5 shows a hive with various options for regulating the thermal regime depending on the ambient temperature and the period of development of the bee colony.

The beehive consists of a socket housing 1 with honeycomb frames 2, over which a limiter of socket 3 is located. A roof 4 with ventilation holes 5 is installed on housing 1. Roof 4 forms an under-roof space 6 with socket limiter 6. Socket housing 1 is mounted on a removable bottom 7 having a box shape. In the front wall of the bottom 7 there is a notch 8. and in the side walls of the bottom 7, below

level 8, horizontal vents 9 are made through which air enters the hive from the atmosphere. Between the notch 8 and the 9th horizontal ventilation holes. a removable bottom 7 is an anti-mite network 10. In the side walls of the housing 1 and the roof 4, a system of vertical 11 and horizontal 12 to 14 channels is made. The vertical channels 11 are connected to the ventilation holes 5 in the roof 4. The horizontal channels 12-14 connect the vertical channels 11 to the environment and have outputs at various levels along the height of the housing 1 ul. The outputs of the horizontal channels 12-14 are located above the level of the notch 8. Ventilation holes 5 made in the roof 4, a system of vertical 11 and horizontal 12-14 channels in the side walls of the housing 1 and roof 4, and

also, the holes 9 of the detachable bottom 7 are made in one plane. All parts are made of insulating material, such as polystyrene.

The hive functions as follows.

Fresh air enters the hive through the horizontal ventilation holes 9 of the removable bottom 7 and the notch 8, flows around the club of bees on the frame 2, is saturated with steam and heated. Then warm moist air rises, passes through the limiter of the socket 3. made of airtight material, and enters the under-roof space 6. From the under-roof space 6, air passes through the channel system 11-14 into the atmosphere. Depending on the biological period of the development of the bee family, the strength of the family, as well as on the ambient temperature, the temperature in the bee nest is controlled by closing or opening certain horizontal channels 5,12,13 and 14 with the plugs 15.

So during the transportation of beehives in the summer, bees emit a large amount of heat. In order to prevent the bees from overheating and to ensure the free exit of excess heat from the hives, ventilation is carried out according to the scheme described above. This ensures active ventilation in the hive.

During brood rearing (end of winter, spring months), it is not possible to tolerate overcooling. For this, the upper horizontal channels 12, 13 and the ventilation openings 5 in the roof 4 are closed with plugs 15 (Fig. 5), leaving only the channels 14 open. In this case, the air entering the hive through the horizontal ventilation openings 9 in the weatheater; day 7, enters the housing 1, heats up and enters the underwing space 6, where the air cools down and goes down along the vertical channels 11 of the housing 1, and enters the atmosphere through the horizontal channels 14.

In summer, during the period of take-up and growing up of the family, active ventilation is not needed. To do this, close the ventilation openings 5 in the roof 4 (FIG. 3), and the air from the under-roof space 6 exits through the horizontal channels 12-14 into the atmosphere without creating through-holes.

In preparation for winter and in winter, when the hive is placed indoors or under

snow, moderate ventilation is required, for which the ventilation openings 5 in the roof 4 and the horizontal channels 12 (Fig. 4) are closed. Air from the axillary

space 6 passes through channels 11 and enters the atmosphere through horizontal channels 13 and 14.

The proposed design is permissible; It is necessary to regulate the thermal regime in the bee's nest throughout the year by closing certain channels.

Due to the vertical channels in the side walls of the housing, the heat exiting the ul is used as an additional source of wall heating. Reducing the temperature difference between the walls and the interior of the hive helps to reduce the condensation of moisture in the hive. Ensuring optimal thermal conditions in the hive helps bees to intensively increase their mass, grow healthy and high-quality brood and reduce honey consumption, which increases sharply when the nest cools. In addition, the proposed design allows the beekeeper to reduce ul maintenance work up to four times a year.
