Abstract:
An artificial honeycomb for use in a beehive and which enables honey to be removed froth the honey-comb without removing the honeycomb from the hive; the honeycomb comprising cells and being formed of at least two parts which are moveable relative to each other between a cell formed position where the cells comprise side walls and an end wall to enable bees to fill the cell with honey, and a cell open position where at least some of the said walls have moved apart, whereby honey in the cells can be removed from the honeycomb by movement of the at least two parts to the cell open position.

Abstract:
A beekeeping apparatus includes a bottom side having an arcuate groove defined therein, the arcuate groove being sized and dimensioned to correspond to the rim of a repository; and a top side including a recessed area defined therein, the recessed area being sized and dimensioned to correspond to a beekeeping frame, and a plurality of generally rectangular openings defined through the recessed area, the rectangular openings each being sized and dimensioned to receive and retain a portion of a beekeeping frame, and collectively being sized and dimensioned to receive and retain portions of different sizes of beekeeping frames.

Abstract:
A system and method for the removal, handling, and inspection of honey frames from beehive boxes. The system includes a handle bar positioned on the top plate of an improved frame structure. The handle bar retains two threaded T-bolts that are aligned with threaded aperture inserts that have been positioned in the top plate to form the improved honey frame. The threaded bolts are secured within the threaded aperture inserts to a spaced attachment to the frame. Once positioned, excess top wax is scraped away and the frame lifted from the hive by the handle bar. The tubular handle bar is appropriately configured to be inserted into a circular clamp that may be positioned on a table or other structure. The circular clamp grips and retains the handle bar and the attached frame in a position appropriate for inspection.
Abstract:
Apparatus for removing honey frames from their box, in which the frames first are raised with the box and then the frames are pushed out of the box onto supporting brackets.
Abstract:
The present disclosure concerns a system for combining the reforestation of cleared land with a bee pasture, mass production of honey, and fermentation of honey for the distillation of fuel alcohol to obtain a renewable source of clean, efficient energy.
Abstract:
A rectangular frame carries a plurality of hook elements which can be engaged under the top bar of a honey-filled comb and includes breaker arms to separate the comb from the super by lever action, when lifting force is applied to the device. This lever action forces the comb upwardly from the super thus breaking the bee-glued junction therebetween. A hoist is provided to lift the device when hooked to the comb and this also operates the linkage to operate the breaker arms.
