Equipments:
* All equipment
or colonies purchased from another beekeeper should be inspected by the bee inspector
from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture.
* All hive
equipment should be of the modern Langstroth type with hanging, movable frames
as
required by the
Tennessee Apiary Law.
* All hive
equipment should be the standard size for interchanging as needed.
Here a typical model of Artificial honey bee chamber are given :
It is a box consisted of several frames having precise space of 1.0 cm that honeybees can pass through without instinctively connecting two adjacent surfaces with a bridge of wax. The concept of the "bee space" opened the way for development of this removable frame hive, which permit both the close examination of the bees and the nondestructive removal of honey. Numerous hive designs are available in Bangladesh, but a combination of trial, error, and research eventually led to the type of the hive in widespread use today made of wooden boxes with removable frames of comb.
Can you please tell me where can i buy those equipment and honey bee. I live in dhaka, dhanmondi 32.
