Mobile apiary with your own hands

Mobile apiary with your own hands

Each novice beekeeper thinks over the season to collect a good honey harvest, and even increase their profits. Experienced beekeepers are recommended to make an apiary on wheels. According to practice, it helps to increase honey collection for forty percent, unlike stationary apiary.

 

Mobile accommodation is easy to move at different distances and installed in the place where large areas of honey plants are located. In addition, the most valuable is the honey that is assembled from one plant. You can achieve this only thanks to the mobile apiary.

In addition, the apiary will make it possible to get honey of excellent quality. For example, if a beekeeper lives in rural areas, in which acacia and linden are not growing, then it will not be possible to collect clean linden honey. And if you move the evidence with bees, for example, on a buckwheat field, or a lime alley, then you can get pure high quality honey. It should also be remembered that honey is pumped at a certain time to not mix the varieties.

Mobile apiary with your own hands

A private apartment can be made from different building materials:

  • polystyolster;
  • from the trailer from the old truck;
  • automotive platform;
  • old metal or wooden booth.

How to make a mobile homes from a car trailer

For the construction of a mobile apiary, we will need a trailer, it is best that it is not a side trailer, but in the form of a booth. But if you have a trailer with low sides, nothing terrible, it is also quite possible to build a mobile apiary.

  1. We proceed with the interior decoration of the future apiary if you have a trailer booth.
  2. For onboard trailer, you need to make a frame from wooden boards.
  3. After the frame is ready, you can start to equip an apiary.
  4. Measure the hive and trailer from the inside. Dimensions are necessary in order to make a functional design.
  5. In a standard trailer, about twenty hives are freely accommodated, but if desired, you can install more. The evidence can be placed in two floors and leave a place to pass to work comfortably.
  6. Make holes in a mobile apiary so that they coincide with the windows of the hives.
  7. Make a durable mount and shelves, because when moving from place to place under the weight of houses for bees, the shelves may not withstand.
  8. Use metal corners and screws for fastening the shelves.
  9. Try to attach the evidence so that when moving your mobile apiary, they did not move, and were securely fixed.

You can view your mobile apiary drawing on this photo:

The figure shows several options for placing a workplace for a beekeeper: in the middle or above the front axle.

In such a pavilion you can carry up to thirty hives at the same time.

The numbers from one to six mean the following: the first is the honeycomb, there is a table for printing the cell, then the cabinet is placed, a place to relax and hives.

The weight of such a design is minimal. Due to the fact that the center of gravity is located downstairs, the pavilion is stable and will not shift while driving.

On the sides of the mobile apiary you can place the hives, one or two floors. Between the rows, you can leave a small space for storing tools and the used frames.

How to make a hive of polystyolster

When creating a design from a lightweight material, experienced beekeepers took into account the experience of foreign fans of beekeeping, so the mobile apiary must be installed in the regions with a mild climate.

When it comes to a mobile apiary, then many beekeepers know how difficult it is to transport heavy evidence with bees. But in this case, it is not necessary to talk about the heavy apiary, because the house of the polystyolster weighs only one and a half kilograms.

Advantages of light houses:

  1. In one evidence, you can accommodate about ten hundred, which may well serve one person.
  2. Deliver to the place of work such houses will be easy.
  3. The connection of the hives is made according to the "spike" method and allows you to establish a multi-door hive.
  4. Thanks to a carefully thought-out design, each house is equipped with special recesses (handles) for transportation and assembly. This is necessary in order to reduce the risk of injury bees when building a house.
  5. Due to the fact that the evidence surface is processed by a special composition, the bees do not break through the moves.

The photo shows the drawing with the size of the evidence from the foam:

What is necessary for the construction of a mobile apiary:

  • buy White Poly Penopol Sheetter, Extrusion. It differs from the usual in that it has a homogeneous structure in the form of crumbs of white balls;

foam sheets

  • choose a foam sheet with a thickness of at least thirty centimeters;
  • plywood sheet;
  • metal corner;
  • wooden rails;
  • sandpaper;
  • "Liquid nails" or special glue;
  • acute knife;
  • roulette.

Step-by-step instruction:

  1. Cut a sharp knife to the workpiece of the desired size, take into account the seams on the seams of five millimeters on each side.
  2. Cut from the sheet of plywood and sandpaper the workpiece of the same size as the foam.

  1. Shift sandpaper on the paneur. The device is useful for the treatment of the edge of the polystane.
  2. Attach each workpiece on the sheet of plywood and make the "wipe". Make sure that on each side fit no more than two centimeters. Grinding each wall of the future house.
  3. Before gluing the finally details of the house, you need to make fold on the back wall so that you can install the framework. To do this, install the framework from wooden plates: twenty millimeters depth and eleven millimeters - width.
  4. With the help of glue or "liquid nails", connect the details with each other.
  5. Make sure that the glue does not flow. If the drips appear, they need to get rid of them immediately, because after the hive dry, the glue will be very difficult to remove.
  6. When the house dries from glue, you can glue the Fiberboard strips on wooden recesses, which will be supported for the frames.

Do not forget that the foam hive is very light. Its weight is only two hundred grams, and with wooden frames - near a kilogram. Therefore, for the sustainability of the evidence it is better to attach a weight loss - a pallet of galvanized iron.

Due to the fact that the sun's rays have a detrimental effect on polymeric materials, mobile bees for bees better paint. Attention! Polyfoam is very sensitive to solvents (for example, acetone), so choose the appropriate paint.

Benefits of Poly Penopolistrol

Modern bee house has a number of advantages:

  • easy to maintenance;
  • will last ten or more years;
  • reliable during transport;
  • stable with a multi-circuable setting of hives;
  • will not raw and not rot;
  • prevents the development of bee diseases, for example, rotz and warratosa;
  • regardless of the air temperature, the optimum temperature is always maintained inside the house;
  • there is no need to warm the hive in winter;
  • can be left outdoors in winter;
  • easy to move one person;
  • neither the rain and snow are not afraid of the foam, so the house will not get wet and will not be wet.

If you remember about bees, then for them a mobile house from a polystyolster will be very convenient. This is especially true of the summer period, when rodents and other pests can penetrate through the wooden hive inside. And after the pilot of the foam house, it is impossible to get inside the rodents. In addition, in the summer, the optimum temperature is maintained in the evidence.

Features of mobile apots on wheels

Transportation of bees from one place to another has a number of features:

  1. No need to forget that other apiary can already be located at the selected location.
  2. Observe the distance. There should be no less than three kilometers between other people's oakses.
  3. Install the evidence in such a place so that you feel comfortably to drive.
  4. The bee must have access to clean water.
  5. Choose such places so that insects are protected from wind and sun rays.

How to perform an alignment of hives

If you transport the hives on the platform or cart, it is very important to arrange them correctly.

Bees fly one bribes, so they acquire the same smell and can fly not to their family. Also, insects can fly to the extreme hive and rag there. This is especially true in rainy or windy weather. Therefore, the houses need to have a bribe parallel. The distance between them should be the same.

It will be better if the houses stand in one row, or two, when the places are not enough.

So that bees focused and flew into their house, they need to be painted in different colors.

Rules of mobile apiary:

  1. Place the hive in one distance from the bribe.
  2. The trailer must be put in parallel apiary.
  3. Before you go to the road - check whether the apiary is reliably installed.
  4. If you plan to place the hives near the honeyfield, then ask the owner if it applied chemical fertilizers or other means.
  5. Get ready for the road from the evening, and go away at night.
  6. When transporting the hives, discover the pilots.
  7. Before the hives, do not forget to put the verandas.
