Abstract

The present ideation study serves to evaluate the opening and acceptance of the market for the honey extraction solution in loco, that is, at the apiary site, without the need to remove the supers from the apiary for transport to honey houses or warehouses for processing and subsequent return. The object of the ideation is the use of frames designed with an exclusive design for use in the ideation extraction method. With this application, it may be possible to reduce the costs of honey production by up to 50% and practically double the production without the need for the bees to produce more honey. (AU)
