| Possessing all the features of the Thermo Production Hive, the Thermo Swarm Rearing Nucleus with 2 Compartments allows you to winter two relatively weak colonies together in one single hive, smoothly unite a queenless colony with a queenright colony, rear queens without having to perform any extra work on the frames, prevent bee losses by means of the sunshade and the colour sockets intended to keep the bees from mistaking their colony for another, control varroa through the varroa drawer, and use this Nucleus also as a Thermo Production Hive. |

APIMAYE THERMO 2 PARTITION SWARM HIVE DETAILS
|
|
1. Bottom: Contains four ventilation filters which enable air circulation inside the hive. (Figure 6)
2. Ventilation Nuts: Removed by turning counterclockwise for cleaning purposes, afterwards replaced by turning clockwise. (Figure 6)
3. Ventilation Filters: Each available at the end of a ventilation nut, they keep foreign matter from entering the hive. After removing a ventilation nut, you can clean the corresponding ventilation filter or replace it with another. (Figure 6)

4. Varroa Drawer: Available on top of the bottom, it allows bottom board cleaning without disturbing the colony. Using this drawer, it is also possible to apply medication against varroa. The built-in air holes of the drawer enable ventilation. The drawer serves to facilitate control of varroa and cleaning of the bottom board. (Figure 19)

5. Varroa Excluder: Found 1 cm above the bottom, it prevents the varroa falling off the bees from re-entering the hive. (Figure 20)

6. Bee Entryway Separator: Both sides can be used. The three-notched side is used when wintering. The opposite side with larger number of notches is for the bees to work easily. (Figure 21)

7. Flight Board: Located on one side of the hive body, it has two colour sockets on it. (Figure 23)

8. Colour Socket: Set on the flight board, it serves to prevent the bees from drifting from their own colony. (Figure 22)
9. Flight Board Sunshade: Dividing the flight board into two, this element of the porch protects the bees from direct sunlight in hot and sunny weather. (Figure 23)

10. Upper and Lower Fixing Elements: By inserting each frame into a slot, potential damages during transport will be prevented, eliminating also the need for pre-transport fixing operations. If not needed, the upper and lower fixing elements each have a flat side (without grooves) that can be used instead. This will release the frames, allowing the beekeeper to choose to continue with his or her customary practice, as well. The elements can be used also in the brood chamber, super and shallow super.

13. Insulated Super: Located over the brood chamber and equipped with lock-latch handles on two sides, this is a thermally insulated structure with no entrance. It can hold up to 10 frames to produce honey inside. (Figure 18) |

14. Lock-latch Handles: Helpful with handling for transport, they also have a locking function in fastening together the body and the top cover. (Figure 25)

17. Larger Division Board: Used in dividing, uniting or wintering colonies, by shrinking the hive's interior volume, during cold climatic conditions. (Figure 32) |

18. Feeder-type Inner Boards: The presence of two boards allows separate feeding of each colony. As the other colony remains undisturbed when checking one colony (Figure ??), this promotes a healthy bee and colony development. Each board is half the size of the feeder-type inner board installed in APIMAYE Thermo Hives. The two boards can also be used together as one inner board in a hive.
19. Feeder Covers: Used to cover the feeder compartment. (Figure 30)
