Abstract: A beehive for commercial or recreational beekeeping comprises: a plurality of frames and honeycomb frames in a beehive chamber; a mechanism for removing the honeycomb frames from the beehive chamber and inserting the honeycomb frames thereinto; a barrier, planar elements, fluid barrier, or any combination thereof adapted to move the honeycomb frames through while exiting the beehive chamber and to propel bees off the honeycomb frame while making sure the bees remain inside the beehive chamber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic bee separation device, and more specifically, to an automatic bee separation device capable of automatically withdrawing a beehive accommodated in a bee box, performing bee separation at the same time, and when the bee separation is completed, inputting the beehive to the bee box. In the automatic bee separation device according to the present invention, since beehive withdrawal work and bee separation work are performed at the same time without requiring a worker to directly and manually withdraw the beehive from the bee box when the bee separation work or honey extraction work is performed after the bee separation work, a speed and efficiency of the work can be maximized in addition to an effect of reducing a labor cost. Therefore, as productivity increases, an effect of increasing income can be generated.

Abstract: Embodiments of a fume board are disclosed. In one embodiment, a fume board includes a fume board box, a blower, a repellant liner, and an air diverter. The fume board box has an upper panel and an open bottom face oppositely vertically disposed from the upper panel. The upper panel defines an air intake portal and an interior surface where the repellant liner is attached on the interior surface of the upper panel. The blower is configured to generate an air flow. The air diverter is connected to the blower through the air intake portal, wherein the air diverter is configured to redirect the air flow across the repellant liner. In this manner, the air flow can be provided with low air pressure but still more evenly capture the repellant volatized from the repellant liner to remove the bees from the honey super.

Abstract: A device for expelling bees from a bee hive, the bee hive having a portion containing at least one bee frame, the device comprising: a board for covering the portion of the bee hive, the board having a bottom side to face towards said portion, the board further comprising an inlet for receiving an air flow and at least two outlet slits arranged at the bottom side for directing at least a part of the air flow into the portion of the bee hive, a conduit system connecting the inlet and the at least two outlet slits, the outlet slits extending over a length of the at least one bee frame.
