Fecha de publicación: 03/09/2015 Fuente: WIPO "beekeeper" The bee hive has retained the Langstroth Hive enclosure size and design and has incorporated a small hive beetle trap and a Varroa mite deterrent into the design. The innovative material and design provides improved heating and cooling properties. The device enables the extraction of honey, propolis, cereum, wax and pollen to be removed from the bee enclosure.
The material used is sourced from recycled and new plastic for example, but not limited to High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which embodies the sustainability philosophy of recycling, HOPE is a valuable material that can be recycled to deliver a durable product requiring little or no maintenance and providing the beekeeper with a higher return on their time and investment. By adopting the Langstroth Hive dimensions, the bee enclosure is easily mixed and matched with wooden hives currently in use.
A feature of the invention is a locking device which secures the beehive container and including the removable lid and the bottom board.
A further feature of the invention is software to support and monitor the inventive beehive described above and bees to provide an integrated system which will enable the bee keeper to record the age, condition, rotation and efficiency of their hive enclosures and bees.
