Beehive Roger Delon – not very well known in our country, but experienced beekeepers say good harvest using this design bee houses.

He looks like an oblong tower. Cases in this structure can be 8. After reducing the beehive spring.

Pros and cons of the construction of the hive Roger Delon

Design features alpine hive:

• lack of top notch;
• availability of cover feeder;
• special frames;
• no punctuation lattice.

Roger Delon did not try to get a huge harvest honey. He tried to make the life of bees in captivity as comfortable, therefore made a special hive with their hands.

In accordance, Alpine beehive like a hollow tree. There is no dividing lattices.

Winter letok through the lower air enters the nest, then he gets up. Through its saturation with carbon dioxide, falls and goes through the eye.

Many beekeepers say, that the absence of top-notch affects the lives of insects, because due to lack of ventilation toiler trying to bring moisture, actively working wings and eating food.

But thanks to the drinkers and podkryshnyka, Hive is not very cool. This air bag is piddashnyk, which prevents cooling slot.

Since there is no dividing lattice hive, Measures should be taken against the swarming bees. For this purpose the expansion slot by installing new buildings.

Benefits design

1. As the number of individuals in the family beekeeper can deliver tiers, thereby adjusting the size of the hive.
2. Good insulation upper part by the thickness of approximately 3 cm, and the absence of condensate.
3. No matter yield in this hive of honey bees zapasutsya more, than, example, Added to Vulik.
4. Convenience and ease of operation, and simple maintenance.
5. Faster growth in the spring bdzholosim'yi, and dry and warm wintering.
6. Compact size, which is very convenient when moving apiary.
7. The ability to quickly and easily self-manufacture design.
8. No need to further insulate the winter. Such hive will cover him enough plastic bag.

Disadvantages alpine hive:

1. special size frames, medogonku hard to find for nectar;
2. relocation problematic insects from other hives (bees do not just get used to the strange design);
3. bee difficult to buy the appropriate size.

Despite this, still many beekeepers successfully use these hives and get a good crop honey.

Alpine beehive with his hands

First start with making framework in the alpine hive with their hands, as prepared samples on store shelves even if there, is rarely, Standard and completely suitable in this design through shorter and not entirely suitable design.

so, framework should long reach 30 cm (on 10 see more, than the regular version of a standard hive).

They look like a wooden plank, which is attached to the wire, bent in the shape of the letter "P". Frames are not reinforced and are characterized by easy installation.

Look it needs approximately as follows:

In a prepared hive you should put a family with one queen. Roy rozoseredzhuyetsya to the body.

Then every 4 days must add frames with wax. Just a hive to fit 24 framework.

Plans for construction of the body delonovskoho hive

Picture 1.

on mal.1, show, looks like a beehive Roger Delon, the letter "A" marked bottom design.

It is made from pieces of pine, and then impregnated flax oil.

The part of the bottom, which will be outside should be treated with carbonyls and covered with paint.

The design provides, which should be removable bottom, as subject to annual replacement. To produce wood plate set, thick as 3 cm.

Prylitna boards should be tilted to the body at an angle 45 C. Dimensions eyes 7 cm (height) on 30 cm.

Picture 2.

Figure 2 shows the basic elements of the bottom. Designation following:

• BUT – the bottom,
• B and C – front and rear leg,
• D and D – Bruski, regulating height and eye level.

Sam hive body must be made of four main walls: rear, two side and front.

They need to take blanks Spruce (ideal material with lime) thick 3 see the following dimensions: two 36 on 23 cm, two 33,8 on 23 cm.

They must also be well impregnated flax oil. To produce 8-frame housing frame should be made of four walls with a perimeter of 4 on 36 cm.

Then it is necessary to bring height to housing 21,5 cm.

Picture 3.

As shown in Figure. 3, its parts, marked "A", two walls (front and rear) in length 36 cm are appearances, dimensions 1,2 on 1,2 cm.

They should be fixed comb, whose main task is to prevent the frame displacement.

The next drawing (Livestock. 4) shows how the need to do tape, whose main purpose in this hive is its use in moving bees.

Picture 4.

For independent manufacturing feeders (mal.5) taken all of the same piece of fir or all the same lime.

The lower cap, intended to close two front compartments, should be made of a thick fiberboard 5 mm and the dimensions 32,4 on 5,7 cm.

Her bottom of the same size Board 32 on 29,5 cm. In the last digit must be considered 10 mm to create slots for calling bottoms.

Pazyky are cut to 5 mm above the bottom edge to a depth 1 cm. This design fee increase propolis.

All parts in feeders should be soaked in oil flax, but inside are painted white oil paint.

Picture 5.

The last (№5) Figure designations such: a-g – wall, d – partition, which must be present for the bees go, it is – rack for additional convenience when feeding bees Syrup, is – lower cap, with – bottom.

As relocate bee hive in Alpine

Insects swarm to settle better, so, if you have hives in the apiary Dadana or Ruta, do not try to cut the frame and shake the insects into a new hive.

In the spring you have to wait and the resulting swarm swarming placed in royivnyu.

After that insects are transferred to a new home, completely filled Wax. This should be done a day after the arrest swarm.

If you do not swarms and you use methods protyroyovi, can move by delaying bees wax.

For this old hive with removable cover, and on top of it set a new hive. Bees themselves move into a new house.

Extension of alpine hive

Expansion of the hive is carried out by some method. After wintering placed underneath the additional building of Wax.

When honey plants bloom early, between buildings inserted into another. Alpine hive is usually inserted into the lower housing as delaying wax, but Pumping Family, not to let her swarm, building placed next counter.

The uterus while at the top of.

Vladimir Khomich – known beekeeper, which successfully uses alpine hives, but slightly modernized design, and left the hive Andriyashev.

The drawings and design is almost the same, as in alpiytsiv. Beekeeping in these hives he considers reasonable, because insects feel, both will.

The principle of Roger Delon with alpine hives

This famous beekeeper removes completely one of the buildings at Nucleus. The basic principle of its work to update and increase the brood nest: non-replacement method of cancer in younger by removing the old.

Delon, after the reduction socket on one frame, inserts at the bottom of the tape, What triggers swarming, and consequently – Bees tend to lay the mother liquor.

Then a body, which produce a tab (the impossibility of providing flight bees), Delon takes out a special apiary, where the elite crossing.

After, as happened uterine insemination were postponed eggs, Corps substituted at the hive, where necessary replacement, required under the upper body, which contains reserves of honey.

This method, according to the words of Roger Delon, gave 100% the result of replacement, and adds to the main brood families before the main honey plant.

If the beekeeper is not possible to move to the breeding apiary, all the measures it can carry inside their.

important to know

Alpine hive honey should be filled from one to five buildings (first of all, depends on the total number in the construction and power offerings).

When begins to fill the sixth – It's time for collection and pumping. After its holding empty housing should be placed at the top.

After, as chief tricks completed, All empty enclosures should top off and dried, Roy left the three with the necessary reserve syrup.

After all the procedures for moving buildings, The upper part must contain food for the winter, secondary – brood, and the bottom – Pergamum,.

When will brood, then the average housing starts to emerge club. At this time, it is recommended to remove the bottom case and polyethylene survivors obtyanut two buildings. Eye thus can not be closed.
