Abstract:
The instant invention describes a beehive constructed and arranged to contain one or more components which are assembled using minimal amounts of fastening devices. The beehive includes one or more hive bodies, such as deep hive bodies or honey super bodies preferably made of rot proof PVC board, which are designed to house or store a bee colony, bee brood, and honey. Each of the bodies is designed to contain one or more walls which are secured together to form the body structure. The bodies are constructed of a single unit structure having one or more integral hinged members that join two rigid members together, allowing the two rigid members to fold along the line of the hinge. By folding along the line of the hinge, a desired shape can be constructed and secured without the need for additional fastening devices, such as screws or nails.
