GRAVITY BASED HONEY EXTRACTION

Abstract

Pakistan is one of the largest honey producing countries. Honey production is thriving local business. But the Pakistani honey farming practices see many difficulties and drawbacks which include loss of bees, compromise in health standards and time consumption. Due to this a noticeable amount of revenue is wasted each year. To improve the current situation, we implement a different method from the current conventional one. The proposed design is a leading technique that has split hexagonal cells to expedite the procurement process and to save the effort of making bee hive over and over again. This can increase not only the productivity but also the effectiveness and minimizes difficulties. A synthetic honeycomb for usage in a beehive is designed, which facilitates honey to be collected from the honeycomb without detaching the honeycomb from the hive, and being made of at least two parts which can be moved against each other between a cell formed position where the cells constitute of side walls and a base wall to enable bees to fill the cell with honey, and a cell open position where the side walls are misaligned enabling honey in the cells to be drained from the honeycomb into a channel due to gravity.
