Beekeepers sooner or later face the task to independently make a hive. This is a very responsible task, because the bees should be calm and comfortable in their new home. All nuances should be taken into account, the rules are observed and only high-quality and proven materials are acquired.
What could be hives
Making hives with your own hands, given all sizes according to the drawings, shown on video below. Consider various variations of structures:
Dadanovsky. They are distinguished by simplicity and conciseness, spacious by their configuration.
Altai.
Of two buildings.
Vertical designs (or risers). They are mobile and have a light weight.
Horizontal (or sun beds). Quite bulky and weigh a lot.
Multiculate houses. Apply for large bees families.
The presence of a semi-text store.
What is the standard hive:
Base in the form of the bottom. It can be both removable or indisidated (stationary). Clean the bee nest is easier in the design with a removable bottom.
The main part in the form of a hull. It can be single, as well as double, if there are many individuals as tenants. Here are the letters so that bees can fly inside freely.
Roof. The topmost of the hive is best to cover the final layer of the roof.
Set of frames. Here insects build their honeycombs.
Score. Here is the final product - honey.
Separates for frames.
Feeder for bee family.

Choosing materials
Since the creation of a house for bees is a serious and responsible, it is important to take into account the many nuances in the manufacture. Specialists advise paying attention to the following requirements:
Hives for bees with their own hands, created according to drawings, should be made of high-quality and reliable material. The design should protect insects from wind and precipitation.
Be sure to provide a place in the product to install the insulation. It works both in winter and in summer, providing a comfortable temperature inside the design.
Letters should be sufficient.
Make the hive spacious inside so that there are no insects closely.
Provide a removable bottom and roof for personal convenience when cleaning the hive.
We proceed with the choice of material:
Wood. It is better to use deciduous breeds that the medium for bees is as close as possible to nature.
Plywood. To increase moisture resistance, the surface is better to be treated with a special protective layer. Inside better insulation.
Styrofoam. This is an economy version, the design has a light weight, mobile and has good thermal insulation. However, such a hive is afraid of mechanical damage and direct sunlight.
Polyurethane. In such a house, ventilation is needed, since the material is not a fire. The advantages are antifungal properties and durability.
Polystyrene foam. It is quite brittle and fragile, however, it does not need insulation for such a material.
Manufacturing Dadana
Consider how to make Dadanovsky hive with your own hands. First we dry well, drink the boards with a thickness of up to 4 centimeters, make the grooves in them so that then you can connect the details of the case.
Let's start the assembly:
Making a strip 18 * 4 mm. The grooves are coated with glue and connect the boards of the case into the shields.
We make walls and bottom, connect with each other.
Exterior walls cover acrylic paint and leave the hive to dry.
Drill cells.
We collect the roof. For this you need a board with a thickness of up to 15 mm. Do not forget about the ventilation holes.
The roof also need to be covered on top of the tin and paint.
Beehive Break
This is a convenient and comfortable house for bees. The whole design is 10-cabinet, mobile and transportable. As soon as the drawings are willing, you can proceed to the manufacture:
Mastery frames in size specified in the photo. The board should have a thickness of up to 5 centimeters and have 3 propyl. In the upper bar after the assembly we make through propyl.
We make billets for the case according to the drawings.
All parts connect through the grooves, bring up nails and self-drawing.
We proceed to the assembly of the bottom. First you prepare the side parts, then collect the frame, as shown in the photo. Mount the grid.
We collect the lid, coated from above the sheet of metal. All beeves cover a layer of protective impregnation.
Convenient and multicompute hives are popular today. And they represent a special value if they are made with their own hands. You can do it yourself, relying on our drawings and educational videos.
