The final thesis presents a device for moving beehives. For the selected device mechanical analysis was conducted, which was done analytically and using the finite element method. The stiffness matrix was derived and linear finite elements were used. The calculations were made with the softwares Abaqus/Standard and Wolfram Mathematica. The calculations were then analysed and compared. We observed that the deflection of the end-effector is higher in the linear model than in the cantilever model. The final result of the thesis is a demonstration of the mechanical response of the device, its displacements and stress components.
