FIELD: apiculture, in particular, bee raising and honey yielding facilities. SUBSTANCE: beehive has rimmed frame plank with vertical recess in each end and opening in bottom of each vertical recess. Frame rim ends bent to inside are inserted into openings in recess bottom. Upper part of frames is fixed by upper retainers made in the form of pins and positioned in face of each beehive casing fold. Pins may be inserted into and joined with frame plank recesses. Beehive is provided with lower frame retainers made in the form of combs whose recesses are joined with lower parts of frame rims to prevent frames from displacement dangerous for bees and honeycombs. To prevent honeycombs from damage by lower retainers, frame rims are provided with frame restrictors, which define the site of allowable joining of frame with lower retainers and separate it from frame space where honeycombs may be built. EFFECT: simplified construction, reduced production costs, enhanced reliability in operation and increased honey yield. 4 cl, 4 dwg
