Self manufacturing scales for beekeeping hives and honey

To control, state apiary ratings, dynamics of bee colonies, medosbora course necessary weighing device.

You can make the weight for Beekeeping and honey hives with their hands.

Let's look more jobs weights Beekeeping.

Scales for hives is very easy to apply.

They are sufficient to establish the apiary. With these measurements performed with precision, reaching to 50 m

In similar weight hive apiary establishing control.

The weight of this hive beekeeper fixed daily.

He brings to his pasechnyy log all the data:

  • the behavior of bees;
  • flowering important honey plants;
  • features weather;
  • individual character of the season;
  • status of females.

With all the above data beekeeper receives daily detailed information about medozboru, weight (brought bees, eaten them), degree of influence on various factors bees.

Balance, which placed control hive, beekeepers usually put at the beginning of the season the activity of bees and do not clean it until the end of the season.

Some experts weight and leave for a period of hibernation to control all processes, occurring within wintering bees.

This will help detect the slightest changes in the behavior of bees, promptly undertake the necessary work, preventive measures.

Advantages and disadvantages of control hive

The most convenient option considered postal scales (flat).

They are usually placed under any overhang, They can be covered with foil on top.

These precautions are necessary to protect the hive from getting wet (in the rain).

Because this changes the weight, and this can cause errors in the measurements of honey.

In fixed weights are some drawbacks.

Among them, we note the fact, they show only one condition of bees.

But its performance, naturally, will be much different from other families.

IN during hibernation in bees, which is under the supervision of, Conditions may vary slightly from the conditions in other hives.

One of the hives could be attacked pests, someone shortage of food, increased / reduced humidity, etc..

Looking exclusively at the control hive can 100% properly assess the situation throughout the apiary.

In accordance, beekeeper can not take timely measures, aimed at providing the necessary assistance.

The same goes for summer. Hive, controlled beekeeper, can be located on the best / worst place, his family can be bezmatochnoyu, on bees can attack the fungus, disease.

Late event, the same, as can provoke hasty reduction medosbora, performance apiary.

How best to control the work of the apiary?

We have seen, one hive can not control life a clear indication of the entire apiary.

The question, how to control her condition?

Use the weight of hives, monitor the amount of honey in each?

This is not an option. This option is unprofitable, irrational for the following reasons:

High volume, they occupy inside the vehicle during transport.

The awkwardness of a large number of scales.

To control efficiency, condition, of bee colonies, tracking the progress was much easier medosbora, most beekeepers regular practice of weighing each of his hives.

To significantly accelerate this process, reducing the severity of manual labor, Special devices were used, developed apiarists, as well as in factories.

At the heart of these structures is the principle on truck weights room, lifts.

In such truck-lifts can set different weighting device, If a minor revision.

Preparation for production

Special unique tools for the manufacture of scales is not required.

Everything, що потрібно – це:

  • drill;
  • tap M6;
  • UŞM (Bulgarian);
  • welding.

With these tools, available in almost every sector, you can start making scales, who will monitor the weight of honey, beehive state.

You will create the devices, characterized by high carrying capacity plant products, low weight, small size, mobility, high accuracy.



Making weight with threaded lift themselves

To control the amount of honey inside the hive, the apiary can use all the usual household scales.

This device is placed on a cart with existing threaded lift.

The advantage of this design is, it weighs hive, it transports.

In addition to the apiary it can be used on the farm (weighing sacks, boxes).

Let the process of making such carts, equipped homemade weights, also known as gantry.

The whole construction will include such details:

  1. gnut shoulder.
  2. Axles. They all 4. They are welded to the frame.
  3. threaded hook.
  4. wheels.
  5. Limiters, they are placed on the net.
  6. Delight.
  7. nut gate. It facilitates the movement of the hook vertically.
  8. Shut.
  9. Removable handle. It is fixed by means of a rod, screw.
  10. beam.
  11. Screw.

To produce a design using long tubes. You can also cook existing segments.

Create the most weight possible, taking metal band, which cause division needed, placed movable weight.

It will move freely along the strip.

In different parts of the strip should hang cargo hook, also need capacity for heavy.

Before that, the hook should hang capturing cart.

After a hard clip should set, which will not bar products move vertically.

By carving hook attaching weights is performed using the clamp.

Weighing hive, transportation enough to lift the rear wheels of the trolley, pidkotyty it at the bottom of the hive.

When the handle will drop down, wheels will not land, he rises hive. It will be hung in the balance.

Performing weighting should pick up the trolley handle, set the hive on a special stand, take the cart from him with raised handles.

In the operation of such a cart rather simple, its use requires little effort, time.

The advantage of this invention is the lack of concern of bees.

Inexpensive option

To make them need the following details:

  • Stainless Steel;
  • 4 bearing;
  • scales (household);
  • cover part of the medical avtoaptechky.

Zmaystruvavshy device, it substituted for the hive.

Balance with GSM module

Basic equipment, which is needed for making the original weights, necessary for the control of bdzholosim'yi, honey collection, as follows:

  • The central electronic unit.
  • power Adapter.
  • Platform Washers.
  • temperature sensor, humidity.
  • Indicator.

Since we need additional components:

  1. solar panel (3,5 Watt, 15 Volt);
  2. vinosna GSM antenna. It has a magnet, can be attached to the lid of the hive. The length of the antenna should be at least 2 m.

Standard voltage, need for food 12 volt.

Most of the time the system uses 64 milliamps.

To work, you can use a car battery + solar battery.

Using a solar cell is very convenient remote apiaries.

It can charge the battery in a day, provide food scales day.

The system provides data about beekeepers:

  • Time.
  • Humidity.
  • temperature.
  • Weight.

The system can operate in real time, is very useful in monitoring the bees.

It provides 3 status indicator inside the hive per day in the form of SMS.

The main, що потрібно – це якісний стільниковий зв’язок.

Very convenient security presence. It is, that weight loss over a minute 1 kg of honey, send SMS to your phone.

You can go, go and check the status of your hives.
