Peter’s New Bee hive
My name is Peter. Ive designed a new style of beehive, consisting of 5 stackable units. Its composed of the base that opens up from the back for the easy access. This design does not require for you to remove each unit in order for you to get an access. This is my improved design. The beehive attaches to the base. There is a separate ventilation system. Between the walls there is a foam layer with the air pocket. At the top there is a screen for the queen bee to prevent it from climbing up. The base also has a screen that is removable for an easy access for cleaning. The difference between my design and the standard American is that in my beehives the frames are inserted sideways through the back door. So each beehive unit has its own separate door that opens down and can be used for resting the frames on it for the support during the observation of each frame, so there is no need to remove each unit to get to the frames. The top part of the unit also has a ventilation system so the air can easily move in and out, and the roof rests on top of it. This part over here also has a screen that closes and opens up. I also discovered easy and effective way of treating my behaves against ticks. So this is my brief introduction to my design and my dream is to find sponsors to mass produce it. I got interested in beekeeping at age of 7 and this is my true passion. You can email me at newbehive @ gmail.com
