Resumo
The present work aimed to analyze the production of honey with variation of
Langstroth type supers, using seven, eight, nine and ten frames, as well as the
economic viability. The bee production has stood out in the Amazon region, where
the culture has become a great attraction for family farming in the southern region of
Rondônia state. Discussions about the importance of adapting beekeeping
techniques to local production have become the subject of debates and studies, and
from the quest to improve production in terms of quality and profitability. The proposal
for this experiment is to adapt Langstroth hives to the local reality emerged. The
project was developed in the Farm located on Highway 435, km 24, number 35,
Agrovillage Renascer, rural area of Vilhena, State of Rondônia, Basil. The experiment
was implanted in the apiaries located in the place. At the end of the research, it was
possible to conclude that the model that most resembles the ten-frame beehive is the
eight-frame hive, which is a possible and profitable replacement, if carried out
according to the measurements of the standard developed by Lorenzo Lorraine
Langstroth in 1851. However, there is a need for adjustments in the measurements
of the frames, as this will reduce the cost of the material to be used and the total weight
of the supers, which facilitates transport and the necessary care in handling.
