Volume space of the honeycomb is in the range between 10 to 100 liters, usually about 45 liters. Location nesting is usually carried out at a height of one to five meters from the ground, and tends facing the equator. Bees generally clean the bark around the entrance of the beehive and plated with resin plants.

Artificial honeycomb.

Artificial honeycomb built with the aim of producing honey, pollinate agricultural crops around, therapeutic bee, bee populations stock keeping, and as a pet. Artificial bee hives are generally designed to be moved to other places that need help pollination by bees.

History.

In the days of ancient Egypt has been harnessed by humans bees. Sculptured wall on the Egyptian sun palace in Nyuserre It was dated 2400 BC describe belching smoke into the hive worker bees to harvest. Posts detail about the production of honey found in the tomb Pabasa dated to 650 BC, showing that the honeycomb-made cylindrical, and the honey produced is stored in a sealed container.
About 30 artificial honeycomb Rehov found in the ruins of the city, where the Israelites and Canaanites living in the year 900 BC. This shows that the honey industry has been in existence since approximately 3000 years ago. The bees nest made of straw and clay were not burned.
