Hi Steem! Make a hive for bees with your hands! Beekeeper. Bees on Steemit!

Hi #steemit. Today i want to tell you about how make a hive for bees with your hands.

I will talk about the VARRE#hive. This technique is the manufacture of beehives are very popular among the beekeepers.

The design and features of the hive

•  The housing has a size of 300 * 300 * 210mm; 
• 8 upper bars are located at a distance of 12mm between them, and have a width of 24mm;
• Below the bar has a strip of wax; Bars upper housing are covered with rigid strips; 
• A pillow is a waste wood under the cover of wood (such as sawdust). The pad should be covered with fabric; 
• The roof has a pointed shape, attic ventilation is provided, which is separated from the pillow board, which hinders the passage rodents; 
• Rebuild the cell bees - toiler plotting with the apex body, the remaining body - you need to substitute the bottom;
•  winter comes in 2 buildings with honey (not less than 12 kg);
•  Honey you need to get hundreds of using centrifugation method in certain grids; In the spring the hive needs to be expanded a couple of buildings. 

Housing

The case is in the form of an ordinary box, accommodates 8 tickers. The distance between each of them about 12 mm. Shell, be careful to board at the junctions was connected directly.

Bars size of 300 * 20 * 20mm need to glue and fix with 3 nails. The upper edge of the handle should mow it helps water to drain freely in the rain weather.

Advantages hive Varre

• low costs for its production;
• the establishment does not take a lot of time and effort;
• no need to fiddle with the scope as they are not needed;
• Hive bees provide comfortable accommodation and others.

Populations of bees in the hive Varre

Beekeepers - a novice is better to populate the bees in the hive Varre swarm. But if the swarm is difficult to get, then I offer to settle the bees in this hive follows.

When will the bee season, buy a couple of bee colonies with hives (eg Dadant hives). Bring a hive to his apiary and wait until the bees start to swarm (swarm of bees). First released swarm necessary to capture and besiege the hive Varre. But the second swarm can catch and the place of the old hive Dadant put Varre evidence. And after all the bees move into a new house.

This method forces experienced by beekeepers and novices better to take a swarm of bees to populate.
