Abstract

Apiculture is the commercial production of Honey. It is an important element in the sweetner for man.Honey is produced by honey bees. Apiculture is breeding of bees for the production of honey and bees wax using for commercial production.Honey is adulterated by sugar syrups and molasses derived by acids or enzymes from corn, sugarcane, sugar beet and syrups of natural origin . This is a main reason as many people keep bees for honey production to boost the energy of our body and can help to overcome seasonal allergies.We designed a model to collect the honey from their beehives without adulteration and prevent many people from bee bites. Our machine  directly collect the honey and wax by putting smoke from smoke distributor  to drive away the bees, by using directly cut hive without human interface.An effective harvesting method is necessary to make the honey harvesting more easier and overcome the problems and Without any manual interference, we can able to collect honey from the hives. This process removes the role of extractor to climb the tree and collect the honey. This may reduce the cost of labors and takes less time than the manual method. It also eliminates the wastage of honey, when the beehive is located in high places like tall buildings, mountains, under the rock etc. This process prevents humans from bee bites. Themainfeature of this model is 70% saving in costand 90% saving in time. The major goal of this model is to collect honey without human interference and without wastage of honey.
