Today, I\u2019m making my own modest contribution to the work carried out by all those who are dedicated to the development of beekeeping. This includes those who help build hives and\/or accessories using reclaimed wood and untreated pallets, along with handmade tools and natural, chemical-free management methods: this is beekeeping made simple.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, a lot of tutorials, plans and explanations are aimed at DIY enthusiasts who are heavily equipped with machines designed for carpenters and cabinetmakers, which is not my case. It's very frustrating to see a video where the author explains that it's very easy to make, when in fact he has professional equipment costing several thousand euros, isn't it?<\/p>\n
I have finished building a Kenyan-style horizontal beehive (TOP BAR HIVE<\/strong>) thanks to the informative content, practical explanations, and books on natural beekeeping and Top Bar hives, particularly those by Phil Chandler.<\/p>\n Thanks Philip!<\/p>\n My new hive is finished and I'm making the top bars (comb guides<\/em>) from 430 mm in length<\/strong> and 22 mm thick<\/strong>, with a V-shaped profile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I suggest this 3D V-profile model, 380 mm long<\/strong> (Exactly 377 mm to support wood and cutting imperfections in particular \ud83d\ude09<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Its manufacturing cost in PETG<\/strong> is derisory compared to the indecent prices of commercial V or round wooden profiles, such as triangular rods. 15 \u00d7 15 \u00d7 15 mm<\/strong> which, moreover, are not really adapted.<\/p>\n The angle of 30\u00b0<\/strong> allows good tracking of the profile along the sides of the hive. \u27a1\ufe0f It is glue with wood glue<\/strong>. Even if the free stuff has no value, even if designing functional products is my full and passionate professional activity, this 3D profile is free of charge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A comments to give meaning to this project <\/strong>, a share on your networks by quoting apiobi<\/strong>, a thank you<\/strong> will make my day and keep it free.<\/p>\n I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that free access does not necessarily mean profit from this file and products or derivatives made from this 3D model<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Please respect intellectual property!<\/strong><\/p>\n Taking care of bees is protecting humanity, isn't it?<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Une contribution \u00e0 l\u2019apiculture simplifi\u00e9e J’apporte aujourd’hui ma modeste contribution au travail r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par tous ceux qui \u0153uvrent au d\u00e9veloppement de l’apiculture.

\nThe proposed 3D model<\/h2>\n
\nThe expertise of Philip Chandler<\/strong> I recommend that the profile be flush against the sides. All done! That's why the ends are flat.<\/p>\n
\nFrom impressions under the profile<\/strong> have been added to facilitate attachment.<\/p>\n
\nFree but not without value<\/h2>\n
\nOne last word<\/h2>\n
