In this book I want to tell you about a multifunctional standing hive on a compressed nest, which I called "Boa constrictor." At first glance, this hive may seem like just child's play, unsuitable for serious beekeeping. In fact, this is far from the case, and this beehive is quite applicable not only in amateur, household beekeeping, but also in larger apiaries engaged in the commercial production of beekeeping products. It is also possible for its successful use in mother farms.
