摘要

Beehive has base, body, upper sections and roof all moulded separately in expanded polystyrene. pref. of density 25 kg/m3. The body and upper sections of the hive are of square tubular form, about 5 cm thick; they are grooved to take the honeycomb frames, and have hand grips formed in two opposite sides. The base is a flat square built up into a rim on three sides: the hive body stands on the rim, leaving a gap on the fourth side as entry to the hive. The overhanging roof would fit down over the topmost section.
