Hive (17) comprising at least a hatching area called nest (8), in which an element for example at least one frame provided with wax comb foundation suitable for laying eggs is positioned. The atleast one frame is a rotatable frame (2) which is installed in said nest (8) perpendicular to the ground, and it is coupled to the hive (17) by a rotating mechanism (18) having a shaft (9) perpendicular to the plane of said at least one rotatable frame (2) i.e. parallel with the ground. Method for parasite control of bees and bee hives in which frames which are positioned in the nest part of the hive are rotated at an angle of 180° in a direction perpendicular to their plane, around a shaft which is parallel with the ground, and said rotation is performed every 24-72 hours.
