Abstract
A method to inhibit bees from escaping a hive through a hive entrance, including the steps of providing a source for cooling air, and operating the source for cooling air to provide air cooling at the hive entrance to a temperature below 14° C. to provide thermal conditions at the hive entrance that inhibit bees from leaving the hive through the hive entrance.
Claims5
A method to inhibit bees from escaping a hive through a hive entrance, comprising the steps of:
- providing a source for cooling air, and operating the source for cooling air to provide air cooling at the hive entrance to a temperature below 14° C. to provide thermal conditions at the hive entrance that inhibit bees from leaving the hive through the hive entrance.
An appliance to prevent bees from escaping a hive, whereas the improvement comprises a thermoelectric module with radiators located directly at a hive entrance, the thermoelectric module being connected to an electric power source and operated to cool air at the hive entrance to a temperature below 14° C.
A method to inhibit bees from escaping a bee hive having a bee entrance location, comprising the steps of:
- locating a source for cool air proximate the bee entrance location of the bee hive;
- and
- operating the source for cool air to maintain air within the bee hive proximate the entrance location of the bee hive at a temperature below about 14° C.
