Abstract: This invention provides a highly safe beekeeping member that is capable of effectively suppressing the infestation and reproduction of mites, and is excellent in breeding honeybees, and provides a method for producing the beekeeping member. The beekeeping member of the present invention comprises an anti-mite component comprising platinum particles and metal particles other than platinum particles, whereby the beekeeping member is highly safe, is capable of effectively suppressing the infestation and reproduction of mites, and is excellent in breeding honeybees. The method for producing the beekeeping member comprises the step of immersing a base material in a liquid anti-mite agent containing platinum particles and metal particles other than platinum particles.

Abstract: In order to artificially produce a honeycomb that is equivalent to honeycomb that honeybees produce in a natural environment, an artificial honeycomb is provided of which at least one pair of facing walls among the six walls configuring each honeycomb cell is formed in an inclined manner such that the gap between the two expands from the floor end of the walls towards the opening, and the floor plates and the walls are formed from a polylactic acid resin.

Abstract: A case for compact disks which comprises two case members. One edge of each of the case members is connected with connecting or hinge members. The two case members are opened and closed at these connecting members. Furthermore, latching means for holding the two case members in the closed state are provided on the other edge of each of the case members. When the two case members are closed, a plurality of storage compartments for storing a multiplicity of compact disks are formed therein.
