Fecha de publicación: 17/03/1982 Fuente: WIPO "beekeeper" Bees are kept and bred within a bees' compound unit which comprises several compartments 2-5 each of which houses a swarm of bees with one queen. One assembly chamber 14 is provided for all compartments, preferably four compartments, and all compartments have access to the assembly chamber, but the individual compartments do not have direct access between each other, but only can be reached via the assembly chamber. From the assembly chamber the bees can enter the feeding chamber. Since the bees are able to move from one compartment to another, only one compartment requires treatment, whereas the remaining compartments do not require caring for.
