Technical Information

 

 

Dimensions:

Device:

L:258mm; W:158mm; H:38mm.

Weight: 750g (with glass and batteries)

Package box:

L: 270mm; W: 170 mm; H: 45mm. Weight: 850g (device included)

 

Usage Tips:
Designed to work at temperatures between +10 and +40 degrees Celsius.
Keep in a dry place, above -20 and bellow +55 degrees Celsius.

 

 

Safe:

- The BVC0411 device has series of built-in protections and indications, making it easily usable and safe for bees:
- The device has a built-in short-circuit front wires protection and an indication if that occurs.
- To protect bees, in a humid weather the device automatically reduces the current or even shuts itself down, to prevent unwanted damage to the bees.
- Additional protection is provided by another automatic feature – if there are too many bees on the device, it shuts down until everything is back to normal.

 

Standalone:

The device for collecting bee venom is turned on manually, and then turns off automatically after a set period of time. It could be turned off manually as well, if needed.

Other features:

-Indication for low batteries.

-The VB0508 electronic devices provide an individual service of each bee family. The optimal work time per hive is 1-2 hours a day.

-Indication to alert if too many bees on the device.
-Short circuit indication.

-The BVC0411 can service a beehive separately. The optimal work time per hive is 1-2 hours per day (up to 3 cycles per hive per day). One cycle is 40 minutes.

 

Productivity:

-During the active season, one bee family can provide from 0,2 to 1 gram venom per day*.

-One device can be used on up to 2-3 hives a day.

Random -When farming bee venom, the greatest difference is the device used – according to science researches, bees’ life is significantly increased with optimal electro-stimulation parameters of the device.

According to another research – conditions of short-term systematic electro-stimulation may lead to a stronger bee family – the queen lays eggs more intensively.

*This is the venom weight when scrapped off the glass 5-20 minutes after the glass is removed from the device. The time depends on the temperature and humidity of the weather.

 

turning on	manually
turning off	automatically after 40 mins, or manually
batteries	2 alkaline AAA batteries
battery life	3 to 5 months
Red LED	Solid RED - short-circuit between visible front wires of the device. Two or more wires are connected.
	Flashing RED - batteries low
Green LED	Flashing slowly - the collector is working normally
	Flashing quickly - too many bees on the device, or humidity is too high.
Temperature	Suggested air temperature is +10 to +40 C while working. When not using, keep in a place with temperature between -20 and +55 C.
