Description
With the 4Bees hive stand, setting up bee colonies is child's play. The eight parts can be assembled without tools and can be completed in less than five minutes. The adjustable frame feet allow the hive stand to be adapted to any terrain. The beekeeper can easily raise the bee colonies to the desired working height. The quick and uncomplicated assembly is a major advantage, especially for migratory beekeepers. Home beekeepers will also enjoy this hive stand.
Assembly instructions
I will not use any measurements for the assembly instructions for the hive stand, as it can be easily built for the desired number of colonies and the corresponding hive size. The length of the support beams is calculated from the number of colonies times the hive width, plus approximately 3 cm of reserve per colony. The length of the cross planks corresponds to the hive length plus approximately 10 cm for mounting the landing board. For the cross planks, I use wood that is 10 cm wide and 4 cm thick. The frame legs should be 50 cm long so that the hive stand can be leveled even on slopes.
To give the hive stand sufficient stability, grooves are milled into the support beams for the cross planks. I determine the center of the groove by measuring the width of one colony plus 5 cm from the edge of the support beam. This is also the center of the hole for the frame leg. The diameter of the hole is 40 mm.
The hive stand can now be assembled in just a few steps and without any tools. However, if you want to level the stand perfectly, you'll need a spirit level.
