häkkijärjestelmät

Häkkijärjestelmät, also known as hive systems, are structures used in beekeeping to house honey bees. These systems are designed to provide bees with a suitable environment for foraging, storing honey, and breeding. The most common type of häkkijärjestelmä is the Langstroth hive, which consists of vertical frames that hold wax combs. Each frame is divided into sections, allowing bees to build combs in a structured manner. The hive is typically composed of a brood box, where larvae are raised, and a honey super, where honey is stored. Additional components include a queen excluder, which prevents the queen from laying eggs in the honey super, and a queen cage, where the queen bee is housed. Häkkijärjestelmät are essential tools for beekeepers, enabling them to monitor and manage the health of their bee colonies effectively.
