The paper presents the study done on the frame model technology and its effects on productivity. The productivity of a bee family is correlated with the hive’s productive capacity, the micro-climate conditions and the volume available for the optimal growth of the bee family. For finding solutions that limit the negative influence that a certain hive model has on a bee family, the paper aims to compare the two main frame technologies used in apiculture. The study was made using numerically equal bee families, kept in the same conditions and under the same preventive treatments, with the purpose of determining their productive capacity and development patterns.
