ABSTRACT:
Modular beehive. For a beehive assembly, there is provided a triangular module having a pair of triangular end members connected by a perforated panel, the perforations in said panel being of such size as to permit the passage therethrough of worker bees but selectively to permit or preclude corresponding passage of the queen bee as desired in a given case. The modules are arranged in alternately facing manner with said perforated panel on the downward side thereof. The alternately exposed sides of said modules are closed by removable imperforate doors. Triangularly shaped comb frames are insertable into said modules and positioned in suitably spaced relationship to each other parallel with and in substantially lateral register with said triangular side members. The comb frames are thus accessible in any modules of the hive without disturbing other modules for removal; inspection and/or replacement as desired. Other desirable features of the hive structure include means minimizing the entry of rodents into the hive, means facilitating the ejection from the hive of dead bees or other refuse, the ready adaptability thereto of known antiswarming features, capacity for assembly if desired with presently conventional beehive components and capacity for assembly in a variety of different ways as may be desired by the beekeeper.
