Artificial honeycomb for keeping honeybees and method for artificial beekeeping by use thereof

摘要

An artificial honeycomb comprises a bottom plate and deep cells formed on at least one of the opposite sides of the bottom plate with a material incapable of being processed by honeybees. Each of the deep cells has a size large enough for worker bees to crawl in and do their chores and for the queen bee to insert her abdomen and not large enough for the leading end of her ovipositor to reach the bottom plate.
