Indian Standard SPECIFICATION FOR BEEHlVE STAND

PART I FOLDING TYPE

( First Revision )

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part I ) ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 14 October 1977, after the draft finalized by the Apiary Industry Sectional Committee had been approved by the Agricultural and Food Products Division Council.

0.2 Beehives are kept on stands to protect bee colonies from ants and to protect boxes from termites, etc. Beekeeping Industry is now gradually switching over from stationary type to migratory type of beekeeping. Particularly while using bee-colonies for pollination of agricultural crops bee colonies are migrated to farms for a short duration. Even in their permanent honey-flow sites bee-colonies are required to be migrated locally for deriving maximum benefit of the flora. A portable stand, particularly a folding one, therefore, forms an essential accessory of the beehive. The stand should be strong but light, compact and handy for easy transportation.

0.2.1 This standard was first published in 1960. The present revision includes both the types of stands, namely, folding type and fixed type. This standard covers folding type beehive stand.

0.3 In preparing this standard considerable assistance has been derived from information supplied by Central Bee Research Institute, Pune; and Directorate of Beekeeping, Khadi and Village Industries Commission, Bombay.

0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS: 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).

A piece of tube should also be welded to the legs of the bent tubes to keep the legs in position. A hole of appropriate size should be drilled exactly in the centre of the bent tubes as well as in the pieces of the tubes welded on both the main bent tubes. These should then be joined together by bolt and nuts of appropriate size. The rubber paddings should be fitted to all the four ends of the tube. These ends should serve as legs of the stand.

5. SHAPE AND DESIGN

5.1 The folding stand shall be, as far as possible, of the shape and dimensions as given in Fig. 1.
