Drawing of box type hive for Japanese bee (Apis cerana )

This to arrange for a moment and is making of the one that had been published in "Daily agricultural newspaper" in old times.

←From a daily agricultural newspaper. It grows if it clicks.

Figure above is a drawing of one parts of boxes minute. It ..340mm.. cuts it with 240mm in length the board of the thickness 140mm in width 25mm. The hole of three φ10 that has become empty is bee's doorway.

The hole of 10mm in depth and φ10mm is made for each board. After it assembles it, the bamboo stick is pushed into this hole. There is a role to support the beehive in this bamboo. Box

The purpose of drinking and thrusting out one of the edge is to prevent the board from cracking when nailing it.

It uses it making four as shown in nether figure repeatedly. The wave board and the block are put on the above lid.

It makes it beforehand, and when Japanese bee 's amount [hachigun] is captured, the hive opens the above lid, puts the crowd, and closes the lid.

The nest is built above if it likes it. When the nest grows enough, the box above is taken up and "Honey harvest" is done.

The bee has the character to save honey top of the nest. The lower side of the box taken with the wire etc. is cut before it takes it up.

The box where "Honey harvest" ended is underlayed most.

Hive that this side of the first photograph actually made. Place where it puts next to nesting group and amount of bee is waited.

Japanese bee that goes in and out from nest gate.

The person who has kept it for about two years with this hive descends, and it is asked, and having taken a picture when the hive is lifted is this photograph , saying that "The hive was filled, it wants to add, and help, please".

←When the image is clicked, it expands.

It is a concrete board used for the bottom of the hive. A large amount of things like mud had precipitated. A maggot a large amount of in mud is wriggling, and the entire mud waves little by little in the image though it doesn't understand. It was exactly an incredible sight.

Because moisture had not run away easily by concrete, the nest bottom was not cleaned at all but the bottom seems to have become it so. It was not more awful than this though the bottom plate had opened a wooden nest with the same structural hive. only having collected garbage

It seems to be important that a Japanese bee use the diligent cleaning of the Colony bottom, and the hive cleaned easily.
