Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention provides bees with a frame that they can fill with honey from the hive. The frame does not require dedicated or modified follower boxes and provides beekeepers with a simple and economical method to collect and package honey for sale.

[0021] The hive frame is configured to be installed in a honey collection section of the beehive. The honey collection part can be a honeycomb box, a breeding room or any other part of the hive suitable for collecting hive honey.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the frame has a plurality of cavities 1 for collecting honey. Any desired number of cavities can be included in the nest box. In the illustrated embodiment, the frame includes half frame A and half frame B on opposite sides of the frame, and each frame half has eight cavities 1 . The cavity opens out and provides a space for the bees to make their hive honey. The cavity can be of any suitable size and shape. The depth of the cavity is preferably ab...

Abstract

A device for the collection and packaging of comb honey comprises a frame structured to fit within a honey collection section of a beehive, such as a beehive super. The frame has a plurality of cavities for collecting the honey. The frame has separation structures between the cavities to facilitate separation of the cavities from the frame. In another embodiment, the frame has opposing sides and a plurality of outwardly facing cavities in each of the sides for collecting the honey. In another embodiment, the frame comprises first and second frame halves on opposing sides of the frame. Each of the frame halves includes a backside that is enclosed by the frame to keep bees away from the backside.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to beekeeping, and more particularly to an apparatus for collecting and packaging honeycomb honey. Background technique [0002] Beekeeping is the technique of beekeeping, which includes the raising and reproduction of bee populations. Bees live in hives that can come in many shapes and forms. In North America, the most common beehive design was patented by Langstroth in 1852. Bees, as a tool for storing food in beehives, produce honey in the form of hive honey. Honeycomb honey is a matrix of hexagonal beeswax cavities filled with nectar collected by bees from flowers. When the moisture content of the nectar is reduced to an acceptable level (about 17%) by evaporation, it becomes honey and is sealed in the cavity with a beeswax cap. Bees will build this hive to maintain a bee path, a gap large enough for two bees to pass next to each other. This bee path is approximately 3 / 8" laterally. If the bees encounter...
