Sceliphron: black mud-dauber wasps

Do you use silicone spray inside the plastic mould?

As this is a startup company with very little info. I can only speculate as to what the intentions of this devise is. But information from other products is already out in the open, a prime example of this is the thermosolar hive. It says it has the capability to increase honey production and...

Saw the same in Dubrovnik, but it was a carpet of bees over slices of watermelon.

The latter as in the French knee co, confirmed by Richard Noel.

There is a possibility that the OP could be one of the startup inventors. For the 'It eliminates the need for pesticides', quote may point towards varroa and raising the temperature to 40°C to interfere with the brood cycle of varroa.

If you look closer, the element is under the mesh and the wooden batons facing out comprise of 3 and not 4 to fully enclose it. Although I don't think the open end is an entrance because the sensor and heater controller is also underneath. It also looks like the connector for a battery is...

- Prize of 10,000 euros sponsored by Banco Santander: BeeMotion Tech These are the winning projects from the creation of the startups BeeMotion Tech is a project that seeks to increase honey production and bee care through temperature control of hives, breeding nuclei and fertilization of queens;

How much does the wax weigh? Aim for 75p to £1 per ounce of wax and add the cost of the parts.

This is the element

I don't think Finman went as high as 60w for a hive. There are Chinese ones at 12v 10w that are supposed to reach temperatures of 50°C. I have used one in the past in a mobile incubator that I made.

On instagram there is a picture of a heating element that would probably fit under a hive. Finman got there before them, with his heating elements. Nothing new @The Poot it would help in brood rearing in spring. Bug Farmer on YouTube has his own version.

Always reminds me of this

If you enlarge image 0251 there are reinforced rails both sides for frames to rest on. On the side walls it looks like streaks of propolis going downwards. The entrance is on one side of the hive and the doorway on the other side is for access to the frames. The wide ledge above the rails would...

It looks as though it is based on the Einraumbeute German hive, now more commonly known as the modified golden hive. David Heaf has a book about this hive.

The smaller boxes would contain the honey frames for extraction.

Would it be something like this back in the days of Eva Crane. Scroll down and click the text for another picture. Norway

Yes it would work. Sold on Amazon as well for over a fiver.

Just for reference, the 2nd and 3rd pictures were taken in August 2 weeks after placing into nuc. The top and bottom pictures were taken in September.

Wax sheets for me, if you feed a swarm with wax foundation the sheets are drawn out very quickly, all eleven frames within a week. Starter strips take longer and foundationless longer again in my experience. I was given one of the new BS plastic frames from frames and feeders. I didn't feed this...
