The grapevine trellis was assembled

The plant shelf that had been designed one year or more ago was finally assembled.
There was no assembled time though parts were considerably bought ahead.


ブドウ棚を設計しました

Grape shelf under assembly.
The half is assembled in the plan, and a part of joint is loosened.

Though it was going to be gradually start-up from the state laid down as shown in figure below.

It's big failure!
It is limp and has collapsed besides the desire while starting up though it worked by two people.
I think it is possible if it does by four people.

It changed to the setting up method the nature and Rina doing and two props.

Set up four legs. It stabilized by this.

It almost completes it putting up eight props. It is a size of about 3×6m.

The bamboo is sideways put at the end, they are made to crawl the grape, and it completes it.
The shelf crawled on the ground because it was not though the grape actually had been planted by about three years ago.

Because space had become empty about 2/3, the wistaria was planted.

West bee colony arrive to my home

Last autumun, I made a big mistake. Electlic fence defends west bee from hornet comes off from hive, and the colony was occupied by hornet only one day.
Large hornet occupies west bee hive.

But Recently I heard I can buy west bee and ordered.

But, only 3 comb colony takes 36000Yen is very very expensive.

I prepared a long deep hive for my new colony in my bee-house.

And put them. It was lucky because of warm today. (The bee that had flown away froze to death when it was cold,impossible to move).

Next day fine too. Mustard flowers in the persimmon farm are full-bloomed. Very beautiful.

Alound the flower, many bee comes and work busy.
The West bee reached yesterday are working busily. A lot of Japanese bee also have come.

Well,I am happy I can keep bees this year.
A Japanese bee also seems to be able to breed, So I will keep west and Japnese bees .

Make Tomosan's homepage English version

My homepage came to be referred to from many parts of the world suddenly. I am very surprised.

Very, it is not or this is strange accessing and existing from regions all five continental though it is a pure Japanese page.
Traditional apiculture of Japan seems to be paid to attention very much when examining it.

So Idesided to make My homepage English version .
It is thought that it enhances it little by little because it becomes my study English are the automatic translations at present because it is not good.
That is expected because it seems to be happy when coming by an overseas friend.

Examination about Japanese bee (Apis cerana) hive

Because the bottom in the Colony was cleaned though keeping with the Colony of boxes type hive was Japanese bee 's general feeding procedure and not easy and other trouble were found, it variously thought whether there was good hive.

Boxes type hive. It is a type that neighbors are using. Please refer to how to make on another page for details.

Hung type. It is easy to avoid the troublemaker who comes from ground of the ant etc. The bottom plate can be cleaned by removing. [**] of the cleaning on the inside can be done by incidentally looking it into from the under. To do easily, it designs by using the standard material treated in the do-it-yourself store. Please refer to how to make on another page for this detailed, too.

Because a usual boxes type was not satisfactory, it variously included it. "Updated version" It comes to be able to do [**] in the cleaning and the under by making the bottom plate a detaching type. Though it doesn't see if there is no mirror. The brick of a heavy stone came to enter for the roof above and it was thought to be the style strong. A brown potato that exists under the roof is a feeder. Only when the sugar water is replenished, it places it. Feeder..drip..sugar..water..mesh lid..birdhouse..inside..fall. Convenient mesh lids are put on nest of boxes on most by the West bee . The rectangular lumber is put between the roof and the mesh lid, the space is opened, and the hot summer is ventilated. The bee cannot pass though the wind passes. If the roof is removed, it can be [**] (Though it is not easy to see) in on.

Because the nest was not able to be recycled in a free nest of boxes type, it made it to the nest frame type. It was thought that the nest frame of half the size of West bee 's nest frame was used. It is seems not to use it easily at all.

L type hive written in the West bee was reduced for a Japanese bee. To clean the bottom, the foot is attached. Only the nest frame in this side where the queen bee exists usually only does [**] on the inside. This seems not to be used easily somehow.

Being using it now is this hive. The back is removed. For indoor breedingThough being possible to observe it in it is easy to clean the bottom of hive is a merit.． Keeping photograph. The feeder is put below. Outside of Bee-house. Japanses bee is kept with the West bee. It racks one's brains because it is shape that honey is not caught easily.
