Multi-channel bee attendance counting system and method

Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-channel bee attendance counting system and method. The system include a multi-channel module, a minute data processing and storing module, a data exchange and control module, a data collecting and processing module, a data transmitting module and a system power supply, wherein a photoelectric sensor automatically measures the number of the bees going in / coming out of a beehive within a certain time, and a temperature sensor and a baroceptor automatically measure data as environmental temperature and air pressure at the same time; an upper computer reads the number of bee going in / coming out of the beehive and the data of temperature and air pressure in the data collecting and processing module as well as the data of year, month, day, hour and minute generated by an alarm clock signal generator; the upper computer calculates and displays the number of the bees going in / coming out of the beehive on the screen or displays the variation curve of the number of the bees going in / coming out of the beehive, so that the number of the bees going out / coming back within a certain time and the environmental temperature at that time can be automatically recorded, so as to provide the evidence for the scientific statistics of the attendance situation of the worker bees in the bee swarm.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of automatic bee attendance counters, and in particular relates to a multi-channel bee attendance counter based on microprocessors, computers and photoelectric sensors, and is also suitable for measuring the number of movements of other moving (transferring) objects and their movements (transfers). Identification of the moving direction. Background technique [0002] In beekeeping production, if the total number of worker bees in the bee colony can be accurately counted, it is possible to know the strength of the bee colony, whether the worker bees are active or passive, and whether the bee colony is ready to divide or fly. According to the proportion of pollen collection (calculate how many worker bees bring powder into the nest among 100 worker bees), it can also calculate how many worker bees collect pollen on that day, and can estimate the attendance data of the bee colony, which is beneficial to beekeepers Manag...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example, the self-made bee attendance counter proposed by Mr. Wang Dechao in Lufeng County, Yunnan Province (see: Wang Dechao, "Self-made Bee Attendance Counter" China Beekeeping, 2005, 56 (10), 20.) can record the bee attendance, but cannot automatically record certain How many bees have gone out and how many have come back in a period of time; it is also impossible to automatically record the ambient temperature and air pressure at that time, which is not conducive to scientifically counting the attendance of worker bees in the bee colony
