The Beehive

The beehives are composed of several levels, several “cassettes”. The last level of cassettes, located below, is the place of the nest. In this part, the bees have the brood, have their queen, store honey and all what they need to survive.

The other additional cassettes are used to store the exceeding honey. The bees that are in this last cassettes, feel isolated. So, the beekeeper interposes a brevet which is a table, among the nest and the cassettes, at the centre of the brevet, there is a trap, a kind of labyrinth for the bee which allows it to reach the nest. The bee can not come back, because of the labyrinth to the over cassettes, that gives the choice to the beekeeper to work safety with the exceeding honey.
