摘要:Abstract Title: Substance Delivery System for a BeehiveA system for delivery of a substance (such as a treatment to kill varroa mites, or a bee feed) into a hive box 16 (Figure 1) of a beehive 10 (Figure 1) is provided. The hive box includes a wall and a plurality of comb support members mounted on the wall, and a bee space located adjacent to the comb support members, oriented in a plane perpendicular to the wall. The system comprises at least one aperture 101 aligned with the bee space and apparatus for insertion into and removal from the aperture. At least part of the apparatus is shaped to be received and held in the aperture. The apparatus may be a tray 102 comprising air flow holes 105 for supporting a treatment board impregnated with bee treatment such as thymol oil. The apparatus 109 (Figure 4) may instead dose sugar water into the beehive. Apparatus for delivery of fluid into a hive box of a beehive is also provided, comprising at least one opening aligned with the bee space, and smaller than it in at least one direction.
