Hive is a bug-themed tabletop abstract strategy game, designed by John Yianni [2] and published in 2001 by Gen42 Games. The object of Hive is to capture the opponent's queen bee by having it completely surrounded by other pieces (belonging to either player), while avoiding the capture of one's own queen. [3]
Rose Hive: A hive and method of management developed by Tim Rowe, it is a variation on the BS National hive. The Rose hive maintains the same cross-sectional dimensions as the National hive (18 in x 18 in, 460 mm x 460 mm), but opts for a single depth box of 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (190 mm). The single box and frame size are used for both brood and ...
In beekeeping, a Langstroth hive is any vertically modular beehive that has the key features of vertically hung frames, a bottom board with entrance for the bees, boxes containing frames for brood and honey (the lowest box for the queen to lay eggs, and boxes above where honey may be stored) and an inner cover and top cap to provide weather protection. [1]
Each unfertilized egg contains a unique combination of 50% of the queen's genes [1] and develops into a drone. The fertilized eggs develop into either workers or queens (if fed exclusively royal jelly). Every honey bee (Apis mellifera) in a hive exists to perform specific duties determined by their sex and age. Like every member of its colony ...
In feral hives the honey bees tend to put the brood at bottom center of the cavity, and honey to the sides and above the brood, so beekeepers are trying to follow the natural tendency of the bees. In the mid to late spring, just before a bee hive would naturally split by swarming , beekeepers often remove frames of brood, with adhering bees, to ...
A hive frame or honey frame is a structural element in a beehive that holds the honeycomb or brood comb within the hive enclosure or box. The hive frame is a key part of the modern movable-comb hive. It can be removed in order to inspect the bees for disease or to extract the excess honey.
The bees normally show no sign of disturbance, and any bees in the flow frame at the time are not harmed. Clean honey can be produced and filtration is not normally required. [ 2 ] The system is then reset and the bees clean up any remaining honey, remove the capping, and refill the cells, beginning the process again.
Time and money may not need to be spent wiring foundation into frames. A top bar hive can also be rapidly converted to two or even three mini hives, called a nucleus hive, by placing bee-tight dividers within the hive, and allowing access to independent entrances. This may avoid the need to purchase and store such nucleus hives.
