FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: task of the invention is to develop a new method of joining beehive components and manufacture of a new landing board joined with the beehive bottom. The beehive roof includes an opening upper part (10) joined with one of the sides of the roof body (99) by means of a mechanism. Under the upper part (10) of the beehive roof there is a surface on one part of which there are tanks (8) and on the other side there is a removable lid (48) that provides direct access into the beehive. On the upper part (10) of the roof there are shutters (11) that open and close ventilation holes (12). The beehive bottom has a folding landing board (85) attached to it that saves room occupied by the beehive while it is being transported. In order to join the lateral walls (94) of the beehive a junction dovetail (15, 16) is used. Use of this junction ensures high strength of the beehive.
