The Friendly BeeRing hives are small and portable bee habitats designed to be comparable to actual bee habitats and intended to be disseminated all over the world in indoor as well as outdoor sites to reproduce and protect the bees and allow them to perform their daily activities in a natural habitat. People can adopt a BeeRing Hive, with a unique design, allowing them not only to contemplate the bee activity but also to familiarize with them in a friendly and sustainable manner preserving their natural habitat and aiming to repopulate throughout the world.
The innovation aims to deliver natural habitats for the bees via hexagonal hives made entirely in wood, with paired trapezoidal and removable frames without prefabricated honeycombs with preestablished cell size as currently used in today’s bee honey production. To recreate the natural habitat of the bees, the trapezoid frame in the bottom houses the queen and allows her to breed bees and drones, the in an environment close to their natural habitat, as if it were a hole in a tree. The innovation also allows the bees to determine the size of the cells on the comb, as they naturally do it, based on their own needs, one size for the birth of bees and other for drones. Commercial housekeeping uses a preestablished cell size that leads to the birth of only bees that are the ones that produce honey, while the drones do not.
Man-made beehives are built for commercial production of honey and differ from what the bees build in their natural habitat. The invention claimed here solves this problem using a design that allows the bees to build their own beehives having a habitat closer to their natural habitat. The design of the beehives allows the bees to build their own honeycomb around removable paired trapezoidal frames.
The bees can construct their combs in a natural process, as they do in the wild.
The BeeRing frames can be removed without cutting their combs, and replaced with fresh ones when it’s required.

The BeeRing Hive differs from commercial hives as the bees naturally make honeycomb as they do in their natural habitat. The size of the cells on the comb is an important component for the bees, in contrast with commercial combs, in a natural habitat not all combs are equal, the cell size varies and it is based on their own needs, one size for the birth of bees and other for drones. Commercial housekeeping uses a preestablished cell size that leads to the birth of only bees that are the ones that produce honey, while the drones do not. In beehives commercially available the bees make the honeycomb on a wax-based foundation with fixed cell side depraving the bees from making the honeycomb as they do in their natural habitat.
The portability and production repeatability of the BeeRing Hive also allows researchers to conduct studies on the bees in their native environment. The environment created for the bees in commercially available beehives is not adequate to study bees in their natural habitat. Our hive is an improvement on what currently exists. In the BeeRing hives the bees naturally make honeycomb as they do in their natural habitat in removable frames allowing researchers to conduct studies on the bees in their native environment.
Each beehive is a unique piece of art. Elaborated with detail and precision. A reflection of the rich history of humanity’s interaction with bees. Artwork is made in a wooden piece.
