ADVANCED PERFORATED MOBILE PLASTIC BEEHIVE BASE (ANTI-VARROA)

 

The advanced plastic base is available in two versions:

1) version for a langstroth beehive

2) version for a dadant beehive

The plastic base was design by KYPSELOTECHNIKI Co., based on its 40-year experience in providing beehives in the market and addressing the beekeepers’ needs.

The strength of the base was evaluated and certified by Optiphore company.

 

Description:

 

1) The plastic base has a safety sink at the surrounding edge of its upper part where it fits to the storey, in order to block water dripping from the storey from passing into the interior of the base.

2) The holes of the perforated bottom are sufficiently wide at their lower side to prevent clogging by dirt in the beehive.

3) It has reinforced stoppers to hold the beehive from all sides.

4) At the four corners of the bottom there are protrusions for better stacking during storage (one within the other).

5) The plastic base can be connected to the beehive by means of adjustable connectors.

6) A) The base has two entrances and four gates which are permanently incorporated in the beehive. The two gates have holes 0.8x0.9 through which only bees can pass through, but not their enemies. B) The other two gates are for transport. The gates are incorporated and autonomous and can be opened or closed in minimal time.

7) The apron of the mobile base is rounded at its corners for convenience during loading and has an inclination for water flowing and smooth landing of the bees.

8) The plastic base has legs with shoes to touch on the ground, like a wooden beehive.

9) The plastic base fully assembled has two pollen traps and two pollen collectors and four rails which are positioned at the lower part of the bottom easily to form grooves for mounting the two pollen collector drawers in a sealed area, without causing bulges in the beehive. The pollen collectors have two faces, one for pollen collection and the other for conversion of the perforated base to a closed one by inserting a special component at the middle of the base to close the perforated base completely. Thus the base changes and acquires a double bottom in which dirt of the bees falls and the interior remains clean.

By opening/closing the two pollen collectors and the middle component, the aeration of the beehive is adjusted between 0% and 100% in minimal time, and transport is convenient since 20% of the aeration is provided by the middle component. By pulling the pollen collectors outwards, a larger flight board is provided. The inner pollen traps are positioned easily through the entrances of the beehives.

The base is versatile and flexible and may be converted from perforated to having a double closed bottom and adjustable aeration.
